She married the man of her dreams-then his first love came back. Now Amara has to decide: stay and fight for a man who never chose her, or finally choose herself... and the boy from her past who always did. __________________________ On paper, Amara Lane has everything she ever prayed for: a handsome husband, a ring on her finger, and the powerful Lane family name. In reality? She's just the woman who came after. Her husband, Jace Lane, never stopped loving his first love-the flawless, untouchable Sienna Hart. When Sienna blows back into town as Jace's new business partner, his parents treat her like the real daughter-in-law while Amara is left swallowing backhanded comments and smiling through every cold family dinner. So Amara straightens her spine, fixes her lipstick, and tells herself she can compete. She'll be prettier, nicer, more perfect-anything to keep her marriage from slipping through her fingers. Then she runs into Eli Rivera-her almost, her what-if, the boy who chose distance over breaking her heart. Now he's back, successful, completely unimpressed by the Lane family's power games, and furious when he sees how Amara is being treated. As Jace flaunts Sienna like a trophy and his family pushes Amara to the edges of every room, Eli pulls her back to herself-reminding her of the girl who once knew she deserved more than being second best. When the truth about Jace and Sienna finally explodes, Amara has to choose: Keep bleeding for a man who never picked her first... or walk away and choose herself-even if it means choosing the man from her past who never stopped seeing her. Packed with family drama, emotional betrayal, and a slow-burning second-chance romance, Loving a Man Who Still Loves Her will drag you by the heart from chapter one and refuse to let go.

** "Maximilian?" I blink at her silently. She just called my name. By my name. Instead of feeling repulsed and detested by that sound I instead can't feel anything anymore. All I can see is her. My breath stops for a moment again. Just like back in the tent. "Yes it's me." I say, quickly looking away from her side. "Why are you here?" She asks me coldly taking my hand away from her cheek. She then sits up straight in the sofa, far from me. I silently drop my hand back to my lap. I kind of felt disappointed. "Why can't I be here? Can't a husband visit his wife whenever he wants?" She shakes her head. "You're not like other husbands. And I'm not like other wives. You're a husband that's still hung up on their first love. And I'm a wife that wants nothing to do with you." She says with her tired eyes, after having slept only for 2 hours. _____________________________ Maximillian, the Emperor of the Kaisenarch Empire, who still love his first love.
