For seven years, Kelsey Dale ran a business empire from the shadows and called herself a housewife. She gave up her name, her position, and eventually her health to prop up a husband who needed her more than he admitted, including nursing him through a near-fatal illness with everything she had. On the day their infant son turns one hundred days old, Gaige Hamilton walks through the door with his mistress and their child, backed by his parents, and offers Kelsey a choice: accept them under her roof and keep managing the household, or leave without her son. Seven years. That is what they thought they were owed.

This marriage she desperately tries to preserve resembles a fragile bubble—one gust of wind reveals countless cracks. Just as Mackenzie grits her teeth and summons her last reserves of strength to hold the family together, Clint's childhood sweetheart April Sampson returns to the country in high-profile fashion.
