She thought she was about to become a widow. She had no idea what she was actually about to lose. Leah has spent seven years as the steady center of a Vice President’s chaos — his kids, his house, the wife who stopped asking where the patch took him at night. Then Gage’s bike goes down on a canyon road. Leah spends the worst hour of her life in a hospital hallway, certain she’s about to bury her husband. Instead, she hears something through a cracked door that has nothing to do with the accident at all. She doesn’t wait for an explanation. She doesn’t ask a single question. She goes home, takes off her ring, and gives Gage ninety days to become a stranger worth living with again. He has six months to prove he’s more than what she overheard — while a debt he’s spent years pretending doesn’t exist starts calling itself in. Some ghosts live in houses. Some live in the space between what a woman knows and what she’s finally ready to hear.
