Her husband, Jared, a high-powered lawyer with a fierce courtroom reputation known as "The Siberian Beast," has grown distant, and his cold demeanor leaves Jerica questioning everything. Once the pillar of her life, Jared now feels like a stranger, more lighthouse than man—steady but unreachable, leaving Jerica adrift in loneliness and suspicion. When she catches him leaving work early with a mysterious woman in a red dress, her world shatters. As she balances her growing suspicion with the suspicious arrival of Harold Braddock, Jerica's former flame, the lines between loyalty, betrayal, and her own desires blur. Her once steady life spirals as her husband’s frosty demeanor and her own emotional wounds collide. As the emotional distance between her and Jared widens, Jerica must decide whether to fight for a love that seems to have slipped away—or walk away from the man who once completed her. What will she decide? What is Jared's secret? Was their marriage truly over? Has she truly stopped loving him? This is a heartstring-pulling journey of love, pride, and the devastating cost of hidden truths and unspoken desires, where one woman must decide if she’ll fight for the man she married or leave him behind to save herself.

Intense Moment

As Jared's fingers hooked under her neckline, he tugged, then paused as he sensed the quick intake of her breath, her chest rising sharply against him. His grip remained, a magnetic hold neither of them seemed willing to break. Jerica felt the heat of him radiate in the small space between them, his scent a familiar, intoxicating blend of cedar and something undeniably him.

His gaze held a fierce intensity that sent a surge of warmth spiraling low in her belly.

"Zipper…" she managed, her voice a shy whisper. "It's on the side." Her words barely left her lips before her head found its way to his chest, as if drawn there, settling into the rhythmic beat of his heart that drummed as erratically as her own.

The familiarity of his heartbeat, so close, brought an unexpected sense of comfort mingled with the thrill of being in his arms like this.
