Every Good Thing

Falling in love is only the beginning.

Lena has everything she wants—a thriving business, Saddletree Farm and Bakery Café, a loving family, amazing friends, and her soulmate, Ben, whose unwavering support has made it all possible. But when an accident uncovers a hidden side of Ben, Lena is shocked to discover that she doesn’t know her husband as well as she thinks. How can she feel close to him when he keeps his past a mystery?

Ben adores Lena and everything they’ve built together, but their strong bond has faded behind daily pressures and changes he doesn’t want. His hearing loss is worsening, threatening his career in law enforcement and his battle with PTSD. Ben struggles in silence—that’s what he’s always done. But silence isn’t an asset in a marriage—it’s a curse. His past resurfaces, and his sense of self erodes, pushing him deeper into isolation. He fears the man Lena fell in love with no longer exists.

As Ben retreats deeper into his pain and Lena fights to understand him, they’re faced with a heartbreaking reality: sometimes, letting go is better than holding on.
