(SAMPLE) Fractured: The Choices He Made (A Cheating Romance)
He cups my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. "Come on. You know you're the only one for me." He kisses my forehead. What would you do if you discovered that your husband of eighteen years is having an affair? No... don't answer yet. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬. Eighteen years. Not eighteen days. A history. A family. There's a long road between suspicion, the footprints left in the sand, and the devastating truth that the life you knew is already over. I saw it coming. I felt it in my bones. Late nights at work. Sleeping at the office. The distance... the way his eyes could no longer hold mine. Lipstick stains where they didn't belong. Unfamiliar scents clinging to a man who should only ever smell like him and me. 𝘏𝘪𝘮 & 𝘮𝘦. But when a third person enters your marriage... there's nothing left to save. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦 is the first book in a trilogy that follows Cecily's journey. From heartbreak and having her world fractured more than once, to the slow, painful process of rebuilding herself and finding true love. The kind of love powerful enough to reshape worlds and give meaning to every wound left behind. Described by readers as an unflinching, realistic, and raw exploration of love, betrayal, and the fractures that change everything... the kind of story that cuts deep, lingers, and refuses to release you even after the final page. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ₊⋆ Cheating ⋆⁺ OWD (Other Woman Drama) ₊⋆ Marriage in Crisis ⋆⁺ Emotional Betrayal ₊⋆ Long-Term Marriage ⋆⁺ Domestic Angst ₊⋆ Moral Ambiguity 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 18+.

Then she found a lump in her breast, and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and met the gentle giant owner, who invited me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I'm smiling more than I ever have, and I'm healing my heart. My bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people who love only when it's easy.
