The Wife He Left To Burn (You Chose Her. Now Grovel. #20)

Renee Ridgeway has a secret in her coat pocket: a lease on eleven acres of Colorado dirt, signed three weeks ago — the first thing in nine years of marriage that is hers alone.

Then a December

wildfire gives the ridge ten minutes.

Three vehicles leave. Her billionaire husband drives out in the first one, certain his wife is in it, while

Renee spends six hours trapped in the cellar beneath their burning house.

She climbs out to find out about a ninety-minute call on his phone, made during the evacuation, to another woman. There was no affair. As far as the county is concerned,

she is the woman who left a good man over a phone call.

So Renee stops explaining. She moves into a trailer, revives the seed company she closed for him, and wins the contract to reseed the burn that took her home.

Chase is changing too — quietly, expensively, where she finds out sideways.

By spring Renee has ground of her own and a life she could love without him.

The one thing left to decide is whether she wants him in it.

A Colorado second-chance romance with no cheating, a betrayed wife, a billionaire husband who has to grovel, and a hard-won HEA.
