    Free Short Story: Regrets

    Maureen Aja knows how to hate. She hates a lot of things: Pink roses, her life and her husband. Except she doesn’t. But hating him feels easier than facing the deep, dark fear she wants to avoid. Until one day that unchecked fear threatens to destroy all she truly holds dear. A short story about forgiveness. “Regrets” by National Bestselling author Dara Girard is free on this site from only the 17th to 24th . This story is available in the collection Dark Love and as an individual story through different retailers here.
