Second Chances and Startups
When trust breaks, can love rebuild what lies destroyed?

Courtney Newman thought she knew her husband. After eight years of marriage, she believed their love was unshakeable—until the distance between them became a chasm she couldn't cross. Late nights at the office. Hushed phone calls. Evasive answers. Then she sees him: her husband Justin with a beautiful stranger, their heads bent together in intimate conversation, his hand on the small of the woman's back.

Her world shatters.

Justin swears he hasn't been unfaithful—not physically. But the lies he's been telling for months cut deeper than any affair. The secrets he's kept have poisoned everything they built together. Now Courtney must decide: is their marriage worth saving, or has the man she loves destroyed them beyond repair?

Justin knows he's failed her. Watching the woman he adores look at him with betrayal in her eyes is a pain worse than death. He'll do anything—anything—to earn back her trust. To prove that beneath the lies was a truth he was too afraid to share. To show her that his love has never wavered, even when everything else did.

Some broken things can be made whole again. But first, they have to bleed.
