Even for me.

I’ve loved Jaxon Calloway since I was 13. I married him at 22 and left him three years later. He wanted everything I couldn’t give him. A doting wife, a perfect family, a white picket fence, and game nights. It’s not that I didn’t want to be his wife anymore. I just wanted something more—a career.

Now, days after our divorce is final, I find myself thrust back in the town we grew up in, down the street from the house we once owned together.

Brayden and I have everything going against us. There was a time when we were madly in love. Our laughter still echoes in my ears. They say marriage is built on trust. They said love is the foundation. I wonder if we have either of those now. And what's worse? I've been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Divorce or death. I have no clue what comes first.
