Redeemed villains who totally deserve their happily ever afters

Contrary to popular opinion in Hollywood, men and women who have done horrible, horrible things in their pasts can be redeemed and don’t have to die in order to earn that redemption. (Yes, I’m looking at you, JJ Abrams) And to prove it can be done, here are some romance authors who pulled it off beautifully. Seriously...these are some great reads featuring troubled men and women who redeemed themselves and earned their happily ever afters. Happy reading!
