It shouldn’t be a surprise that my marriage is ending, since it was secretly a business arrangement to begin with. It’s time to let it go. I have accepted that.
Apparently, my almost-ex-husband has not.
Susan Canton loves her family and their business. Typical first-born, she’s an achiever, a leader. She cannot stand the thought of letting her family down, which is why she volunteered for a strategic marriage deal.
She was friendly, determined, and obsessively organized. She could handle it. And she did. She succeeded in faking the romance and saving the company.
She also accidentally fell in love with her husband. In return, he respected and appreciated her and she was sure that would be enough.
Many years, a couple tragedies, three beautiful baby boys, and one distant, disgruntled husband later, she’s not sure of anything anymore.
And the grumpy, growly, groom, Adam Bell? He’s only sure of one thing: Susan Canton-Bell is the best thing that’s ever happened to him and he can’t let her go.
