No blurb yet, but in short: marriage-in-crisis. Both working professionals. She's a public defender; he's a court reporter. Will have emotional cheating on hero's side. Betrayal in that emotional cheating sense, grovel, and redemption. Will have OW drama, but I'm not sure how much yet and to what degree. It will be posted on Wattpad and free, but eventually I may pull it for KU--depending--once it's completed and edited. A new chapter(s) will be published on Fridays. At no specific time.

Since we first got together, his parents have become like my own. They always told me to come straight to them if he ever misbehaved. I don't think he listened.

Jane built her life carefully. Every choice measured. Every risk controlled. Because when you have children depending on you, you don't get the luxury of falling apart. Then she meets Caleb. Quiet. Observant. Unshaken by the things that usually make people leave. He doesn't try to fix her. He doesn't ask for more than she can give. He just understands-and somehow, that's harder to run from than anything else. But being understood means being seen. And as their worlds begin to shift-family expectations, distance, and the weight of everything left unsaid-Jane is forced to confront something she's avoided for years: Not whether she deserves love. But whether she's ready to keep it. Because Caleb isn't temporary. And for the first time in a long time- neither is what she feels. This story is A slow-burn, character-driven romance about healing, family, and finding love in the quiet moments.
