My husband is a Navy SEAL.
And for twenty years, I’ve been the woman he leaves behind.
The one who packs the lunches, folds the uniforms, and pretends not to notice that he never really came home.
Until the day I finally said: Enough.
Now Adam’s back from his latest deployment—standing in my kitchen like he still belongs here. Like we didn’t blow our marriage to hell four weeks ago.
Like the ink isn’t still drying on our separation papers.
He says he wants to fix things.
I say I don’t trust him.
Because the truth is, I’ve already grieved this man.
I’ve buried pieces of myself in the name of loyalty. I’ve slept next to a stranger who kissed like a hero and disappeared like a ghost.
But the way he’s looking at me now?
The way he touches me like I’m still his?
It’s dangerous. Addictive. A fight I’m not sure I want to win.
And if I’m not careful,
he might remind me why I ever let him wreck me in the first place.
A scorching, emotional second-chance romance about marriage in crisis, the cost of silence, and the kind of love that stays—even when everything else falls apart.
Genre: Romance
