The Husband She Couldn’t Unlove

"I can stop trusting you. I can't seem to stop loving you. Fix the first one." Faye Sorenson can build a garden that outlives everyone who walks through it. What she can't do is stop loving the husband who blew up their family — and she hates that love like a splinter she can't reach. For fifteen years Grant Mercer had a good marriage and a good wife, and he still let himself feel unseen, still chose the career he was chasing over the woman across the table — and then he chose another woman entirely. There was no grand passion in it. Just comfort, and cowardice, and eight months of him walking, not falling. By the time Faye found out, from the other woman's own husband, the marriage was already ash and their fourteen-year-old daughter was collateral. Now Grant wants back, and Faye is done with words. He can't buy her with apologies or flowers or the reasonable-sounding case he makes for himself. If he wants a second chance, he has to earn it the only way she'll believe: in a thousand unglamorous, unwitnessed, boring days — starting with the one career move he chose over her, and the little heirloom clock, stopped for years, that he's quietly repairing by hand. The Husband She Couldn't Unlove is a grounded, adult, slow-burn second-chance romance about the ache of loving the person who hurt you, a woman who chooses from the top of her own life instead of the bottom, and a marriage rebuilt one honest day at a time.
