Rekindled-love Stories

What if the person you loved most was the one you forgot how to fight for? After ten years of marriage, Alexander Clarke believes he and his wife, Gwen, have grown too far apart to ever find their way back. Convinced he's fallen out of love - and into the arms of another - he asks Gwen for a divorce. Gwen doesn't fight. She doesn't cry. Instead, she makes a simple, heartbreaking request: for the next three months, Alex must carry her to bed every night, just as he did the night they became husband and wife. As Alex honors Gwen's strange request, the past slowly seeps back into the present - the laughter, the memories, the love he thought he no longer needed. But even as old feelings awaken, Gwen seems to slip farther away, her once-bright spirit dimming before his very eyes. Will Alex finally realizes the depth of his love - and the devastating secret Gwen has been hiding - he races against time to fight not only for her heart, but for her life. Along the way, buried betrayals come to light, forcing Alex to confront the truth about everything he thought he knew. Can love that was nearly destroyed by pride and betrayal ever be rebuilt? Or will Alex's second chance come too late? What Love Once Carried is a deeply emotional novel about heartbreak, redemption, and the enduring strength of a love that refuses to be forgotten. Where second chances are earned, not given. Perfect for fans who love slow-burn healing, and stories that stay with you long after the final page. Inspired by a prompt read on Facebook.
