Elena saved Charlie's life when they were children, but he spent six years destroying hers. Forced into a marriage built on lies and hatred, she endured ridicule, abuse, and public humiliation while her own sister claimed the hero's role. Now she's free—divorced, pregnant with his child, and ready to rebuild. But Charlie's near death experience has sparked an obsession with redemption, while Lucas, the childhood friend who loved her silently all along, offers her something sweeter: the destruction of the man who broke her. As Elena stands at a crossroads between revenge and forgiveness, between safety and the terrifying pull of second chances, she must decide what kind of mother she'll be and what kind of woman she wants to become. Because redemption is only possible if the person being redeemed is willing to do the work—and if the person offering it is ready to accept consequences.
