I Left, I Remarried… and He Finally Broke
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.
