Gail is a plain housewife. She dedicated her life to her family. She was as she is for as long as she can remember. Her whole life revolved around everybody but her that she doesn't know who she is other than a daughter, a wife, a mother and a friend. She turned into this simple, understanding, caring and most of all unsuspecting wife. Until she can no longer recognize not just herself but also the Migz she married. Migz is an over-achiever, sexy-as-hell, happy-go-lucky husband; forced to mature and let go of all that he was used to. He then turned into this boring, unhappy and frustrated late twenty-something somebody. Until he slept with this Devonne woman that everyone wanted. Devonne is this perfectly amazing and drop-dead gorgeous other woman. A model turned business woman slash home-wreaker. Mature, exciting, uncomplicated and discreet is what she is. No strings attached. Until lust for Migz turned to something else entirely that even her former fiance Renz had to step in. Renz is perfect. There's just no other word for him. Perfectly obedient son, perfectly understanding brother and perfectly caring friend. Too perfect he seemed unreal. Until he couldn't hide anymore. Until he could no longer deny who he really is and his true feelings for Gail. The same Gail who is both his friend and his brother's wife. How will Gail accept that the life she so carefully built, cherished and protected is not as strong as she initially thought. Is she willing to fight? To forgive? Or is it time to let go and move on? How will Migz face the decisions he made and who will he choose? This new and exciting vixen or the calm and familiar angel? What is Devonne willing to do to make sure she gets what she wants? To make sure the man she loves choose her? What sacrifice is she willing to take? How will Renz protect the woman he loves? Is he willing to be the good brother and give up the one thing he ever wanted or for the first time, go against who people thought he is.
