We were warned about the seven-year itch. It never came—thank God. But nobody warned us about what can come between man and wife when life gets in the way. Kids, jobs, jealousy, and more. I was afraid the new woman he hired was going to fuel that jealousy inside me. She wanted him, and I knew it, felt it. I couldn't miss those green eyes looking him over as if he were prey. He was the most prominent plastic surgeon on the Vegas Strip; he saw beautiful women every day. But would this one, the leggy brunette who so obviously wanted to wreck the home I wasn't sure was already broken or not, snake her way in? Now I had to compete for the love of my life on the eve of our last attempt to save our marriage—our vow renewal ceremony. It was time to remind my husband I wasn’t just a mom and housewife. I was the woman who tamed the beast, and I’d do it again.
