About this book

When a woman stands at the crossroads of her life, she faces an impossible choice between two men who mean everything to her—the steady, devoted fiancé waiting on the left, and the passionate first love who saved her on the right. Torn between the life she promised and the love that set her free, she's forced to confront the deepest question of all: which path does her heart truly belong on? This is a heart-wrenching exploration of love in all its forms, where there are no villains, only the agonizing reality that sometimes loving two people means losing a piece of yourself either way. Get ready for an emotionally charged, utterly compelling read that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about destiny and choice.
