I married the safe man.

The good man.

The man who would never break my heart.

So why is it still owned by someone else?

I built a quiet life in our small town ? a loving husband, a sweet little boy, and a future that made sense. Then my best friend drops a bombshell that rips my world apart... and one reckless moment changes everything.

Now I'm caught between two men who want me for very different reasons.

One is steady, loyal, and loves me with a devotion I never had to question. The other is the boy I grew up with ? the one who knows every secret I've ever buried ? now a rising celebrity with money, fame, and a life far bigger than this town. When he looks at me, it's not gentle. It's hungry. Like he's waited his whole life to finally claim me.

But loving him means destroying the life I promised to protect.

And the closer I get to choosing, the more I realize something terrifying...

My heart never learned how to be safe.
