Camden Edson never believed in happily ever after. Men were fine for a good time, but love? Commitment? Marriage? Those belonged in fairy tales, not real life. After watching her father walk away from her family for another woman, Camden built her life around one simple rule: never depend on anyone. Then she met Theo Sullivan. Somehow, the brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon slipped past every defense she had. He became the one person who made forever feel possible. Two years into their marriage, Camden is thriving as a clinical psychologist while Theo begins an intense cardiovascular fellowship at the same hospital. Long hours and opposite schedules leave little time for each other, but every stolen moment reminds Camden why she took the chance. Until one weekend changes everything. When Camden receives an emergency call that her estranged father is being rushed into open-heart surgery, she desperately tries to reach Theo. His phone goes straight to voicemail. Then she calls his best friend. Only to discover Theo was never where he claimed he would be. As old wounds rip open, Camden is forced to confront more than the possibility of her husband's betrayal. She's suddenly responsible for saving the life of the man whose own infidelity destroyed her family, while questioning whether the marriage she fought to believe in was built on the very lie she swore she'd never survive twice. Some hearts can be repaired. Others never heal the same way.

When Antonia's mother remarries, fourteen year old Antonia remains in the only home she has ever known. What changes is the dynamic inside it. Elena Hayes, her older and strikingly beautiful step sister, enters their world slowly and with very little interest in becoming family. Elena is elegant, admired, and fake, and sharing the same home with her during visits feels more like a calculated rivalry than sisterhood. The situation begins to worsen when Elena brings home her boyfriend, Logan Cruz. Logan is gentle and attentive, and his warmth gives Antonia a sense of safety she has never felt with Elena around. The feeling she has for him grows quickly and genuinely. It's not a childish crush. It's love that she feels in every part of her young heart. Logan sees her only as a kind and thoughtful girl, and the bond between them remains innocent on his side. A single event tears the little peace they had apart, and Antonia is left carrying her feelings in silence as the years move forward. Logan becomes a memory she cannot forget, one she holds privately in the quietest corners of her life. Years later, when Antonia and Logan cross paths again, she has grown into a confident woman with certainty, and emotional strength. Logan can no longer dismiss what exists between them, and the connection that once lived beneath the surface becomes impossible to ignore. Elena has no intention of losing control over anything she believes belongs inside her sphere. She has always excelled at rivalry, and this time the stakes involve loyalty, pride, and love. Two step-sisters. One man. A rivalry that began long before anyone understood the cost.

I was eighteen. He was thirty-one. He was my first. And whether he knew it yet or not, I was going to be his last. After losing the only person who ever felt like home, Trinity is sent from the Bronx to a quiet farm in rural Georgia to live with relatives she barely knows. Everyone tells her it's a chance to heal. She isn't looking for healing. She's just trying to make it through tomorrow. Then she meets Arthur Brandreth. Thirty-one. Her aunt's brother. The man who worked in the farm with his own hands. Quiet. Disciplined. Impossible to read. Arthur keeps everyone at arm's length. Except somehow, not her. He never treats Trinity like she's broken. He never treats her like she's a child. And every stolen glance, every accidental touch, every moment spent alone blurs the line between comfort and temptation. She knows better than to want him. He knows better than to want her. But grief has a way of making people reach for the one thing they should never have. In a town where everyone believes they're saving Trinity, no one notices she's falling for the one man she can never have. Because some kinds of love heal you. And some ruin you so quietly, you mistake them for fate.

A story about a smart woman who loves her husband, her son and her life. When she learns that her husband isn't the man she thought he was, she works on giving her son the life he deserves. It's also about a lying and cheating man, who thought he was clever enough to avoid honesty and accountability in his life. Sometimes making a mistake and then sincerely apologizing, just might just not be enough. "Mommy, why is daddy and that lady nakey hugging?" My son innocently and loudly asks, while his father seems to be trying to locate his pants. Spoiler alert, they are on the floor under my feet, by the door, not anywhere near where he and his 'nakey' friend are sprawled on the couch. The woman shrieks, Kayley and I both fumble for the light switch just as River hits the button for daddy's 'magic office windows', which are now fully visible to the entire office floor, and all 127 employees are staring at and sharing my horror as my husband and his whatever she is are naked and trying to get dressed. Well damn, happy Wednesday to me.
