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.

In the quiet corner of my heart, he was my forever. He was my shadow, my secret keeper, my unspoken promise the boy who whispered "always" under starlit skies and made me believe in a love that could weather anything. Our trio with vivacious best friend Cecilia felt unbreakable. Until the day Caleb vanished without a word. No goodbye. No explanation. Just a space where my entire world used to be. For four agonizing years, I pieced myself together from the shards he left behind, carrying the ghost of his touch and the unanswered questions that haunted my sleepless nights. Then, in the glittering ballroom of a luxury hotel, fate delivers the cruelest twist: Caleb-older, devastatingly handsome, slipping a ring on the finger of one person who knew what he meant to me. Watching him get engaged to another woman hurt me, but realizing that the other woman was the same woman on whose shoulder I had cried multiple times destroyed me. But I would kill myself before I let them see the wreckage of my ruins. So instead of walking away quietly, I moved toward them. Plastering a smile on my lips, I lifted my wine glass and congratulated them. Congratulated myself because for years my heart was in his captivity and in this moment he had finally set it free. The exact moment I stopped loving Caleb Montaign. Now to me he was somebody I used to know. Three hearts, one forbidden Love

Jane Sinclair runs the family bookshop, lives above it in contented independence, and has spent the past year building a careful conviction: that the newly arrived village doctor - starchy and correct with everyone else - is entirely different with her, and that the difference means something. Dr. Thomas Langley likes Jane enormously. He simply hasn't worked out yet what enormously actually means. She's warm, outgoing, and likes to argue - nothing at all like the composed, correct sort of woman he's always assumed he was meant to end up with. So when a beautiful, well-connected socialite arrives in the village for the summer, looking like everything he supposedly wants, Thomas is intrigued -- and Jane begins to think she may have misjudged her handsome village doctor.
