Blurb

She’s neglected by the billionaire husband who promised she’d always come first.

Then she overhears him tell his best friend:

“I’m not sure I ever loved her. I only married her because she was pregnant.”

Maya had a life once. A career. Bylines. Ambition. She gave it all up to raise their daughter and run Oliver Vance’s entire life, a man who can’t remember the last time he came home before midnight.

Then Oliver moves his old family friend into their house. Amelia says she just needs help getting back on her feet. Instead, she cooks the dinners. She takes Maya’s seat at the table. At Maya’s own party, a guest mistakes Amelia for the wife, and Oliver says nothing.

Soon Maya’s jewelry starts disappearing. Her grandmother’s earrings. The necklace Oliver gave her the night he proposed.

She finds them on Amelia.

When Maya says something is wrong, everyone calls her crazy. The woman who ran his whole world is suddenly the villain in it, and her husband believes the other woman over his wife.

So Maya stops explaining. One rainy night, she takes their sleeping daughter and drives away.

That’s the night everything changes.

Losing Maya breaks Oliver open. He walks away from the company. He learns his daughter’s favorite color. He shows up. He begs. The man who never had to try is on his knees, and now Maya holds the cards.

But she’s heard his promises before. She still feels the pull every time he’s close, and hates it. He can grovel for the rest of his life. The real question is whether she’ll ever trust him again. Or whether she even wants to.

Oliver has to earn his way back. The wife who always came last is done coming last. This time, she chooses herself first.
