Fern thought marriage meant partnership, love, and the quiet safety of family. For four years she's tried to believe that-tried to ignore the sharp edges of a mother-in-law who never wanted her, an ex who had moved too close for comfort and a husband who is always looking the other way. But when her husband's negligence leaves their little girl in a hospital bed with burns on her hand, Fern can no longer swallow the excuses. She is done being the afterthought in her own marriage. Her husband Conner insists he loves her, but love doesn't keep a child safe. Love doesn't silence a mother-in-law's whispers or stop an ex from poisoning the air of every family gathering. Love isn't enough-not when Fern's entire world has been built on the shaky ground of compromise. And as the fractures in their marriage widen into fault lines, Fern has to face the question she's been afraid to ask- What if walking away is the only way to save herself and her daughter?

She's old money, legacy, and the beloved, but quietly mysterious, girl of Easton High. He's Elias Reyes. Just moved from California with his two dads after his mom chose to stay behind and remarry. His family isn't wealthy, but they're close, honest, and full of love. He doesn't have privilege or polish, but he's got raw charm, ambition, and a quiet kind of obsession when it comes to Isolde. From the moment he sees her? It's an obsession. Girls notice Elias immediately-including Marley Davenport, Easton's cheer captain and resident it-girl. But he couldn't care less. His attention is fixed entirely on Isolde. He learns her rhythm, the way she lingers, the subtle way she keeps people at arm's length, the moments when she seems to vanish into the shadows of the school halls. Elias is all quiet confidence and persistent charm. He helps Isolde with her projects, listens carefully when she speaks, and leaves small, thoughtful gifts-things he knows she'll appreciate. It's not for attention, not for status. He just wants to know her. But Isolde? She's guarded. Too guarded. Raised with expectations and a legacy to maintain, she's careful with who gets too close.

So she hides her jealousy beneath a smile, pretending to be friends with Isolde, while biding her time. She seduces Elias, using his vulnerability to betray Isolde and ensure she finds out.

Jenna Bradshaw's life looks perfect from the outside-a comfortable home, a successful husband, and two grown children. But beneath the surface, her world is crumbling. Over decades of quiet sacrifices, Jenna has lost herself, her voice drowned out by a loveless marriage, dismissive children, and the judgment of her husband's elitist family. She has become invisible in her own life, a shadow of the hopeful young artist she once was. When her best friend Sasha tragically dies in a car accident, leaving behind two foster children, Jenna is forced to confront the harsh truths of her existence. While taking on the care of Leah and Dylan, Jenna begins a journey of self-discovery and renewal, reigniting her passion for art and finding strength in her independence. However, her decision to walk away from her marriage is met with resistance from her husband, Troy, and their children, who fail to see the quiet pain she has endured for years. As Jenna builds a new life, she learns to confront her past, embrace her grief, and reclaim her identity. Along the way, she discovers that resilience lies in allowing herself to be vulnerable and in daring to demand the love and respect she deserves. Will Troy learn his lesson or is this goodbye forever?
