After a decade-long marriage ends in betrayal, New York chef Jilly Moore is left with two sons, a rising restaurant, and a heart she refuses to let break twice. As she learns to co-parent with the man who hurt her, she finds herself rebuilding more than a business - she's rebuilding her family, her future, and the parts of herself she forgot.
Across split weekends, baseball games, school plays, late-night recipes, and unexpected laughter, the Moore family discovers that love doesn't vanish... it changes shape. And sometimes, healing shows up in places you never expect.
She built a life around love. He broke it. Now she's learning how to live for herself - and discovering that love might not be gone... just different.
