My husband's ex sent me a message: "You can stop pretending now. I'm back. Tell Adrian his wedding worked. It made me jealous." I thought she was lying until I heard Adrian admit the truth. He had married me to lure Celeste back. The love that had saved me after my first broken marriage had been carefully performed for another woman. Now Celeste is back, and Adrian expects me to welcome her into our home. He believes I'm too afraid of another failed marriage to leave him. So I let him keep pretending. While Adrian prepares to reclaim the woman he never stopped loving, I'm preparing to disappear from his life. Soon, he'll have exactly what he wanted, and he'll learn what it cost him.
