Synopsis
She found out her husband cheated on her the same way everyone else did - At her own wedding party, in front of two hundred guests. Ashley built her life around one man. Hunter was the college sweetheart, the tech billionaire, the father of her son, and the husband who just renewed his vows six minutes before a leaked video proved every word was a lie. The other woman? Her best friend. She's not crying though. Hunter Cole knows what he destroyed. He destroyed a marriage - the only person who ever saw him before the money, before the empire, before the world decided he was untouchable. One affair. And now he's watching his wife become someone who doesn't need him at all. He'll spend every day proving he's worth a second chance she doesn't owe him. But Ashley isn't interested in his redemption tour. She's interested in surviving. The problem? You can't cut a man out of your life when he's your son's father, when your lawyers talk more than you do, when every gala and school pickup and holiday dinner puts him three feet away smelling exactly the way you remember. The proximity is constant. The pretending is exhausting. And the tension between them? It never went anywhere. When Kennedy resurfaces with secrets that run deeper than one betrayal, Ashley has to decide what's worth fighting for - her family, her freedom, or the man she can't stop loving no matter how hard she tries to hate him.
