(Book 1 of His series). For six long years, Aaria lived like a ghost in her own marriage. The first wife-dutiful, patient, quietly enduring-while her husband's gaze, his warmth, his pride, belonged wholly to the second. Perhaps it was because she had given him two daughters. Perhaps it was destiny, cruel and unyielding. Whatever the reason, Aaria learned to move like an unmarried woman in her own home: independent, invisible, surviving without the love that once burned so brightly. Then came the accident. Broken glass, screeching tires, and in the sterile hum of the hospital, something else cracked open: her husband's eyes finally turned toward her. For the first time in years, he saw her-not the shadow, not the background figure, but the woman he once vowed never to neglect. Yet the woman he remembered-the soft-spoken, tender bride-no longer exists. In her place stands someone colder, sharpened by silence, armored by betrayal. Now he wants her love, her attention, her forgiveness. But can Aaria return to the cage she once escaped, even if gilded with belated affection? Or will she discover that true love-real, nourishing, intoxicating-lies beyond the boundaries of the life she sacrificed so much for? This is a story of resurrection after heartbreak, of a woman reclaiming her voice, her dignity, and her right to choose: return to a love that once failed her... or step boldly into the arms of something new.
