Jenna always thought her marriage was what fairy tales were made of. That was until the heels on her glass slippers snapped and left her tumbling down to reality. But knights in shining armor tend to tarnish after twenty years, and she’s far from the wide-eyed princess she’d once been. Four kids, money problems and a crumbling marriage tend to wipe away all the shiny and bright and bring on the reality of broken dreams. Royal Grainger knows he’s a lucky man—in theory. His wife is caring and beautiful, he has four amazing kids and his own business, and yet, he’s miserable. He’s detached, tired, and dissatisfied. No matter what he does, it’s not enough—for anyone. The Grainger’s know they’re treading in the deep end, and they have to work together to push through the pain, the hurt, and the monotony of a long stale marriage to reconnect again. A marriage once full of passion and consideration, becomes one full of bitterness and resentment. The past comes back to haunt them in a way they never imagined and their happily ever after becomes a battle. Whatever it takes. The stakes are too high to let go, and for each other, they’ll walk through fire.

Love was for suckers. That’d been my motto for a long time. But I didn’t spend much time being lonely. If I had an itch, I’d scratch it. But I never got attached. I didn’t let them get close enough to hurt me like he did. I was never going through that again. But fate can be a prickly witch. Running into Garrett Bohannon twenty years after he destroyed my heart and faith in all things love was the last thing I expected. He’d been gone a long time, and I never thought I’d see him again. When he decides to come back to town to make things right, it takes every thread of willpower to keep him away. Even when all I want is to fall into his arms and go back to when he was the only thing that made me happy. He’s as stubborn and determined as he was back then, and he wants a second chance. He wants me. And I don’t think I’m strong enough to stay away.
