New York chef Jilly Moore had a decade-long marriage, two sons, and a restaurant on the rise. Then she found out what her husband had been doing behind all of it.
Now she's running the restaurant alone, co-parenting with the man who broke her, and swearing she'll never let her heart break twice. But between split weekends and baseball games and late-night recipes, someone new keeps showing up in the spaces her old life left empty, and Jilly has to decide whether love that ends is love that's over.
She built a life around someone who shattered it. What scares her now isn't being alone. It's wanting to try again.
