On their second anniversary, he got a call from the hospital. His first wife—the one who died four years ago—just woke up. Now there are two Mrs. Ashfords, and only one marriage can be real.
💬 Summary:
Aurora Bennett married Dominic Ashford two years ago, believing his first wife Celeste died in a tragic accident. They built a beautiful life together—a cozy home, dreams of starting a family, a love that felt destined. Then the hospital calls: Celeste is awake. Not dead, just in a coma for five years, and she’s asking for her husband. Suddenly Aurora’s marriage might be invalid, her entire life a legal gray area, and the woman Dominic grieved for is back and has every right to reclaim her place. Dominic is torn between the wife he mourned and the woman he rebuilt his life with. Celeste wakes to find her husband remarried, her home occupied, five years of her life stolen. And Aurora must face an impossible question: do you fight for the man you love, or step aside for the wife who was here first?
