She’s spent years being neglected by the husband who notices everyone but her.
The night she loses their baby, she calls him eleven times and he silences every one.
“I needed you more than I’ve ever needed anyone. And you weren’t there.”
Another woman has his attention. His wife has his voicemail.
Stephanie married her brother’s best friend.
Kevin was a dreamer, the boy who called her from the hospital parking lot just to hear her voice. She loved him before the world did.
Then his clinic made him a billionaire. One missed dinner at a time, he stopped seeing her. She was a stranger in her own marriage.
Losing their baby alone is what finally breaks her.
So Stephanie does the one thing he never saw coming. She signs the divorce papers and builds a life without him.
Three years later, a job pulls her back to Nantucket, the island where she first fell for him. His family is there. He is there. And when her cabin floods, the only bed left is beside the ex-husband she swore she was done with.
He is grieving. Sorry. Fighting to win her back, years too late, and seeing her, finally, the way he stopped seeing her years ago.
That is the problem. Deep down, she still wants him. And he still loves her like she is the only good thing he ever had.
Now Kevin will do anything for a second chance. But Stephanie has to choose.
Can she forgive the man who taught her how little she mattered? And can he prove that letting him back in won’t mean losing herself all over again?
She gave him everything.
This time, she is choosing herself.
