The Wife He Forgot (The San Francisco Husbands Marriage In Crisis Romance #1)

I gave up my dreams to help my billionaire husband build his.

Then I sat in a ballroom full of people and watched him thank another woman for everything I had done.

“She believed in me before anyone else did.”

Those were my husband’s words.

The woman he was talking about wasn’t me.

It was

Celeste Moreau.

His first love.

I sat ten feet away wearing Adrian Laurent’s wedding ring while hundreds of people applauded the beautiful woman he once loved.

By morning, the entire internet was calling Celeste the woman behind the billionaire.

And me?

I was apparently just the wife he married afterward.

For years, I told myself I was happy. I gave up fashion design. I postponed my dreams. I built my entire life around Adrian’s company, his schedule, his ambitions.

Then he left me sitting alone on what should have been our anniversary dinner because Celeste needed him.

Something inside me finally broke.

I didn’t scream. I didn’t compete with her. I didn’t ask my husband to choose me.

I called a divorce attorney.

I left his diamonds behind.

And I walked out of our Pacific Heights mansion with my old sketchbooks and the sewing machine I hadn’t touched in years.

Now there’s a little storefront in San Francisco with my name on the window.

Laurent Atelier.

For the first time in years, I’m becoming the woman I was supposed to be.

There’s only one problem.

My husband has finally noticed me.

Adrian Laurent is accustomed to getting anything he wants. But I don’t want his flowers. I don’t want another diamond. And I certainly don’t want his money.

So he starts showing up across the street from my atelier.

No demands.

No excuses.

Just the man who once had everything sitting outside in the cold, finally understanding that the one thing his billions can’t buy back is

his wife

.

And then I discover the truth.

Celeste didn’t simply come back into our lives.

She came back for my husband.

But she isn’t responsible for everything that happened between us.

Adrian is.

If my husband wants a second chance, exposing Celeste won’t be enough.

He’ll have to become the man I should have had all along.

And even then, I have to decide whether the woman I’ve finally become still wants him.

Because this time, I won’t disappear to be somebody’s wife.
