After Prison, I Became the Woman He Could Never Have

Three years in prison destroyed Sera Hale's marriage, her family, and everything she once believed about love. Her husband testified against her. Her son believed she was guilty. Her first love chose another woman. So when Sera walks out of prison, she asks for only one thing: A divorce. She has no intention of begging for her old life back. Instead, she quietly rebuilds everything. She returns to the medical art her grandfather taught her. She picks up gemstone sculpting again. She opens her own clinic. And she takes in Lily, the abused daughter of the woman who once saved her life. But Sera's new life keeps crossing paths with Damian Blackwood—the most powerful man in the Blackwood family. He is Julian's uncle. He is supposed to be the one man she should never get close to. Yet Damian is the first person to see beyond the prison record and the failed marriage. He sees the woman underneath. The healer. The artist. The fighter. The protector. And the mystery she desperately wants to keep hidden. Because the woman everyone thought they had destroyed was never ordinary. She was simply waiting for the chance to become herself again.
