Some things break in silence. Noelle’s marriage to Grant Calvelli is one of them.
A public humiliation. "It should have been me. She doesn’t deserve you. She doesn’t deserve any of this!"
Drunken words spoken loudly at a party with all their closest friends and family. Sixty witnesses to the fact that Grant would choose Noelle’s sister over his own wife.
After all, Camille was the one he truly wanted. Even after she’d left their arranged marriage for another man, Grant had never stopped loving her. Even if he had accepted Noelle as his consolation prize.
Three years later, Noelle has devoted her life to the Calvelli family. To being the perfect wife to a husband who never sees her, and a marriage bed that’s been cold from the start.
When the final straw falls into place, Noelle finally breaks. Not with a crash or a shatter, but with the final, inevitable resignation that’s been building throughout her marriage.
When she walks away and Grant is left to see the true colors of the woman he wanted in her place, his world shatters and he realizes Noelle wasn’t the one keeping him from the life he wanted. She was the only thing holding the pieces together.
Now Grant has to prove to the wife he never saw that he’s worthy of another chance. But some revelations arrive too late, and this could be one of them.
This is a marriage-in-crisis romance with no cheating, intense groveling, and an HEA.
