{ COMPLETED & EDITED} Elizabeth Parker thought she had it all-two beautiful children, a steady job as a daycare teacher, and a loving husband who just so happened to be the town's beloved chief of police. For ten years, Ryan Parker was her everything... until one unforgettable night shattered it all.
At the annual police ball, Elizabeth walks in on her husband with another woman-public betrayal by the man she trusted most. The divorce is swift. The heartbreak, anything but.
Left to pick up the broken pieces are Ryan's longtime best friends, Darius and Everett. Especially Everett-the one who introduced Elizabeth to Ryan back in college. The one who secretly loved her first. The one who never stopped.
As Elizabeth fights to rebuild her life for Annabelle and Jacob, Everett steps in-not just as a friend, but as something more. He's always loved her. Always loved the kids. And now that Ryan's out of the picture, Everett's heart is done waiting.
But love after heartbreak is never simple... and some wounds don't heal without a fight.
Will Elizabeth risk her heart again for the man who should've been hers all along?
