Dotes

Jazlyn Shore is at the end of her rope when Ethan Ford's mother approaches her with an offer. She signs an agreement to marry him. For three years, she is gentle and obedient. She works tirelessly, even helping the hot-tempered, wheelchair-bound Ethan stand on his own again. She thinks that they can go on like this, but Ethan's first love, Rebecca Jett, returns. In a torrential downpour, he doesn't hesitate to abandon Jazlyn in her misery to pick Rebecca up. Later, he uses a "business trip" as an excuse to take Rebecca to a concert. He even brings her home and flirts with her while Jazlyn watches. Disappointed time and again, she finally decides to divorce him. … The next time Ethan sees Jazlyn is at a banquet. The plain, clumsy woman he once knew is now in a couture gown, looking graceful and radiant. He sees that she only has eyes for someone else, and she even turns on the charm with him. Jealousy tears him apart. He corners her against the wall and demands, "Jazlyn, who said you could be with another man?" She slaps him across the face. "Who let a mutt in here? Keep your hands off me, or I'll have you charged with harassment!" … Jazlyn moves into her new home and meets her warm, dependable neighbor. His name is Jordan Cooper, and he teaches her how to lean on someone. He also dotes on her like she's a child. Every time she faces a problem, he's her rock. From their dates, his confession, a proposal, and their wedding… he plans it all down to the last detail. She never has to lift a finger. Only then does she realize that this is what it feels like to be loved and cherished by someone.

Victor Gunner, my husband, is a man of his prime - wealthy, attractive and the brilliant CEO of Gunner Holdings, Inc. with stakes in the aviation and maritime industries. People often question why he married me because it was certainly not a love match nor was it a union of convenience. I believe it was because Victor felt ready and I was available. When I accepted his proposal, I naively thought my love was big enough for the two of us until he proved me wrong. Three years and our marriage began to crumble. For one, I can’t give him an heir. Then came Victor’s past love with a child in tow. A child who looks strangely like my husband. For the first time in years, I saw excitement filling Victor’s eyes. He dotes on them, recreating the dream of a perfect family, while I was gradually being cast aside, relegated to watching them enviously on the sidelines. I tried fighting for my place, but how can one fight a battle lost before it has begun? I had no place in his perfect family so when he proposed divorce, I accepted and never looked back. When we met again, I was an emerging heiress divorcee of our time, given countless accolades due to my work with women who underwent trauma in their relationships. It gave me immense satisfaction that for the first time, Victor saw my worth and wanted me back. Unfortunately, he has to fall in line. Three other men want me, too. All are wealthy, attractive and doting not only to me, but to my triplets as well. I watched in amusement how our roles quickly reversed. Now, Victor scrambled to beat all those men. But can he win this fight? Can love bloom beyond goodbye?
