I thought Ryker would be my forever.
He's still my best friend. The father of our children.
But somewhere along the way, we lost each other.
Weeks turned into months without intimacy, and I realized I was too young to feel this old. I want to feel beautiful again. Wanted again. Like the woman he fell in love with twenty years ago.
And if asking him to move out is the only way to find myself, then that's what I have to do. Even if it breaks my heart.
Ryker
I never imagined my wife would ask me to leave.
I knew we'd drifted apart. But I never believed we were broken.
Now she's building a life without me—one where she laughs more, smiles easier, and doesn't seem to need me anymore.
Losing my home is one thing. Losing the woman I've loved for half my life is breaking me.
If I can't find my place in her new life, I'll lose everything that matters to me.
Customer Reviews
Great story
Well written, I felt like I was in the room with these characters. But I could not stand the female lead. I just wanted to scream at her to stop being such a selfish thoughtless twit! Maybe that’s a sign of a great book though- when you’re that invested in the story you are actually mad when there’s tension!
Heartfelt second chance
When you stop loving yourself, will others love you back? After months of sustained lack of intimacy our heroine asks her husband to move out. While he is gone she works on herself physically and mentally. Come to think of it, it’s a quasi-manual on what we all can do to restore romance, sex-appeal and esteem to decades-old marriages and give a chance to rekindle love. Especially when there is nothing ‘wrong’ (no abuse, manipulation or bad behaviour) but you have ‘fallen out of love’ (I loathe that term as it infers that you somehow one day tripped and fell when the truth is that love is not an involuntary and stagnant emotion. It requires work and can be rekindled). To work on yourself is to work on your marriage as well. The book comes to a wonderful HEA. I recommend this second chance romance.
