Marriage and the Midlife Crisis
(2026)(The first book in the Fighting for Us series)
A novel by E K Hart
Melanie:
My husband forgot my birthday, and instead, spent a wild weekend in Las Vegas with his best friend. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Well, unless you bring home another woman’s underwear in your suitcase. Believe it or not, that isn’t even the worst of our issues. Between being forgotten, ignored, and taken for granted for well over a year now, I’m done. Our sons are off at college, my husband is off trying to recapture his misspent youth, and I’m just…off. Off center, off kilter. Just…off. And now, after the whole finding-a-thong-in-his-suitcase thing, I’m off to see a divorce attorney.
Ryan:
I can’t believe I’ve become that guy, the ultimate midlife crisis cliché. I’m not even sure how it happened. One day, I’m married to the love of my life, happily raising our sons, and living the dream. The next, I’m buying a ridiculous sports car, taking up new hobbies, and spending more time hanging out with friends than with my family. I lost my way. I lost sight of what really matters. I was just…lost. And now, thanks to my poor judgement and stupid choices, I’ve lost my wife.
Author’s Note: This story does NOT contain cheating, despite what the aforementioned thong leads you and Melanie to believe. It does contain a heroine who finds her backbone, a hero who finds the man he used to be, and an eventual happily-ever-after for them.
Genre: Romance
