She finds out she’s pregnant-then her husband hands her divorce papers.
Her sister stands beside him, holding his hand.“Tommy and I are in love. We have been for a while.”
Maria has given Tommy Moretti everything. Five years of marriage. Only for him to betray her.
The two people she trusted most have been sleeping together. Her sister is pregnant too. All while she was praying for a baby.
When Maria turns to the family for help, they blame her. In front of everyone, Tommy’s grandmother demands to know what Maria did to drive him away.
But she doesn’t cry or beg. She keeps one thing to herself - she’s carrying Tommy’s baby, a Moretti heir - and starts to fight back.
Then there’s Luca - Tommy’s older brother. The family cast him out years ago, and now he’s a sharp divorce lawyer who knows where every Moretti secret is buried.
He wants to burn his brother’s world down as badly as she does.
Falling for her husband’s brother was never the plan - but Maria is done denying herself what she wants. Done being the quiet one, the good one, the woman they spent years making small.
She lost the husband. The sister. The name.
Now she’s choosing herself.
