I thought I was free… but I never left him at all.
Five years ago, Lily believed she ended her marriage. The papers were signed—or so she thought. But when her “ex” walks into her office with the original, unsigned documents, her world tilts.
Jaxon Hayes isn’t just the man she once loved—he’s the man she never truly left. Now he’s back, still her husband on paper, and he’s not letting her go without a fight. Between her furious fiancé, late-night arguments, and lingering chemistry that refuses to die, Lily has to decide if she’s signing those papers… or signing up for a second chance.
