(Dela Vega Series #1) Despite barely knowing each other, Dwight dela Vega thought that he had already found the one after knowing the gorgeous and elusive Keighla Kinsley. He didn't know how it happened or when it did. He didn't know where the shift occurred or what was responsible for it. One thing's for certain, he learned to chase hopelessly, prayed desperately, and hoped undauntedly. After the long chase and countless rejections, she finally said "I do." They got married. What more he could ask for? He got the prettiest and coolest wife in the world. But things as always are easier said than done. When things get messy, and you make mistakes and the world is less shiny, for Keighla, leaving is always better than staying. No, their love wasn't wrong. Maybe that wasn't just the right moment. Maybe they weren't just right to fit together. Sure he can forget. But no, he cannot forgive. She left him at his worst. He was shattered and broken-almost beyond repair. After five years of living through the pain of being abandoned, here she came back again-proud and beautiful. But what if not as someone he used to know before? Would after all still be possible for two hearts that beat the same person but bleeds for different reasons?
