Mag-log inFor three years, Tamsin Ward believed her marriage was unbreakable. That illusion shatters the moment her husband’s best friend, Isla Parker, returns and quietly begins inserting herself into everything Tamsin once thought was hers. By the time Tamsin realizes what’s happening, her marriage already feels impossible to stay in. When Tamsin asks for a divorce, her husband, James Whitmore is blindsided. He refuses, insisting that he cannot live without her. Desperate and cornered, Tamsin seeks out the most powerful divorce attorney in the country. What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with Leo Price, the first man she ever loved, and the one who vanished from her life without explanation. Tamsin wants nothing to do with Leo. But James and his powerful family leave her no choice. Leo agrees to take her case under one condition: she must date him for three months. No secrets. No distance. No pretending the past never happened. As James tightens his grip and old feelings resurface, Tamsin finds herself trapped between the man who refuses to let her go and the man who once walked away.
view moreTAMSIN Six months after my own wedding, I stood at the back of an exquisite garden terrace and watched my sister marry the man who had loved her quietly for most of his adult life, and I cried so hard that Leo had to produce three consecutive handkerchiefs from his jacket pocket. He had come prepared. He had, in fact, spent the morning preparing. I had watched him fold four handkerchiefs and distribute them across the inside pockets of his suit with the methodical foresight of a man who had been married to me for six months and had learned certain things about my relationship with significant occasions. I had told him four was excessive. He had said nothing, only raised an eyebrow, and tucked the fourth one in anyway. He had been right. I was enormous. There was no other word for it. I was more than eight months pregnant with a boy who seemed to have decided, somewhere around the sixth month, that he required significantly more space than the average human infant. My st
LEO I had been standing at the altar for eleven minutes. Colby had informed me of this fact with the quiet, precise satisfaction of a man who had decided that his primary duty as best man was to provide a running commentary on everything I was doing wrong. "Eleven minutes," he said, from just behind my right shoulder. "You keep shifting your weight. The guests can see you shifting your weight." "I am not shifting my weight." "You have shifted your weight four times in the past two minutes. I counted." "Colby." "I am simply saying that for a man who has been waiting eleven years for this day, you are remarkably bad at standing still." I turned my head and looked at him. He was immaculate in his charcoal suit, his pocket square precisely folded, his expression carrying the mild, amused composure of a man who was thoroughly enjoying himself at my expense. He had been doing this for approximately three hours, beginning from the moment I had appeared in the hotel suite where we ha
TAMSIN I had been pacing the hospital corridor for forty minutes. Poppy had told me, twice, to sit down. I had sat down both times, held it for approximately ninety seconds, and then risen and resumed pacing. The corridor was long enough that I could cover a decent distance before I had to turn around, and the turning around gave me something to do with my body while my mind refused to settle. Whitney was sitting in one of the corridor chairs with her legs crossed and her hands folded neatly in her lap, watching me with the expression of a woman who had decided that intervention was futile and observation was more interesting. "You are going to wear a groove in the floor," she said. "Let her," Poppy said, from the chair beside her. "It is keeping her from doing something worse." "What could be worse than this?" "The last time she got news in a hospital, she nearly had a surgical procedure she was going to regret for the rest of her life." Whitney conceded this with a small no
JAMES Mary's voice on the phone was careful and quiet, the way her voice always was when she was trying not to cause trouble. "Mr. Whitmore. I am sorry to bother you. I only wanted to let you know because I did not want you to hear it from someone else. Your wife came to my house today. She came to warn me to stay away from you." I stopped what I was doing. "My wife." "Yes, sir." "Mary. I am not married." A pause. "But, sir. She said she was Tamsin. She said she was Mrs. Whitmore." I was already reaching for my coat. "I am coming to you now." I left the office without explanation and drove to her house. I drove with my jaw tight and my mind working through the possibilities, and the more I worked through them, the more certain I became. Tamsin would never do this. The Tamsin I knew, the Tamsin I had loved for years, the woman who had stood in a courtroom and dismantled our marriage with her chin lifted and her voice steady, would never lower herself to driving
