Running a business and caring for a sick baby didn’t leave Rachel Jackson much time or energy for her beloved husbands, a fact that hit her hard when she learned that her husbands’ ex-lover had been calling them for days, and neither Boone nor Chase had told her. She believed them when they told her that they’d kept it from her to protect her, but their deception hurt her and shook her confidence. How could she hope to compete with such a beautiful and sophisticated woman—a woman who’d had the ability to hurt them deeply? Mona’s appearance brought back the insecurities Rachel had spent months struggling to hide—the fear that Boone and Chase had only married her because she carried their child. While trying to reassure Rachel that Mona meant nothing to them, they dismissed their ex-girlfriend’s persistence as a nuisance, underestimating her determination to get them back. It was a mistake they regretted, one that almost cost Rachel her life.
