Chapter 1

Cassie Edgerton is a successful writer living in Oregon with her perfect little family...well, looks can be deceiving. Her son is her entire world, but her marriage is very clearly falling apart. She tries to keep her head up and stay strong, but sometimes it's tough.

Benedict Cumberbatch is new to Oregon and has moved with his wife and son. It seems he's come third in his wife's life behind her work and their son. He feels neglected and even embarrassed when he's around her. However, it is up to him to be the man and keep his family together...no matter how painful it is.
