I thought my marriage was just strained. I thought if I kept my head down, kept pushing through, I could fix it. Turns out, I was wrong. My husband betrayed me in the one way I swore I’d never forgive.
Now I’m out of my home, tangled in a messy divorce, and trying to figure out who I am without him. Moving into Sam’s ranch was supposed to be temporary, just a roof over my head while I sort my life out. But being here means facing more than lawyers and paperwork. It means facing the ghosts I left behind when my military career ended, the teammates I pushed away, and the man who’s been at my side for over a decade, even when I pretended, I didn’t need him.
The past doesn’t stay buried, not out here. And as everything I thought I knew burns down, I’m left with a keep running… or finally stop and build something new.
