When Rykki Nuñez receives devastating news, she's forced to confront her estranged ex-husband, Seth Eros Vallejo. Fourteen years ago, they were a happy couple, but bad decisions, trust issues, and false assumptions tore their relationship apart, leaving their daughter, Serafina Aki, in a broken home.
Now, with her days numbered, Rykki makes a bold choice-to spend her remaining time with her daughter, and much to Seth's dismay, to live under the same roof as him once again.
As the days go by, secrets, lies, and long-buried emotions begin to unravel, forcing them to confront the painful truths that tore their family apart. Could they find a way back to the love they once shared, or is it too late?
"If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have left-no matter how hard things got."

"I didn't leave because I stopped loving you. I left because you made me feel like I wasn't the woman you fell in love with anymore."
