Our marriage isn’t meant to be the real thing, but I think I’m falling in love with my new husband.

He was the cop with the startling blue gaze who saved me.

Four years later, he's still saving me.

But what happens when we cross that line in our marriage?

How can I show her that she and the baby are my forever?
