Celine’s life is spiraling out of control. She’s in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. How much worse can things get?

Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She’s tired of keeping his secrets―that Justin is his son, and Eric’s frequent “business trips” have been spent playing the good dad with him. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.

The two women are destined to meet, but Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son’s well-being―and Celine must accept that the “other woman” is her only hope.

In another life, Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what’s best for their families―and their own futures?

Praise for Sejal Badani’s Works:

“Badani builds imagery with a gentleness that is soothing to take in and threads together rich descriptions of the landscape that are transportive. There is a thrill in weaving together Amisha’s story as Jaya does, and the gripping pull to her tale builds until the book’s haunting conclusion.”

—USA Today Happily Ever After 

“This stimulating novel reads like a true-to-life story, and no wonder, for in an interview, Sejal Badani has disclosed that the narrative is based on her grandmother’s life in British India...The insights into the local customs and traditions might be an eye-opener even for those familiar with Indians’ time-honored ways”.

—Historical Novel Society

“The characters and world of her novels are where this author truly shines...her characters are well-wrought and realistic and her settings are vibrantly realized. It's easy to envision both sets of plotlines but especially so when set in the lively, colorfully described India of Badani's pen.”

—Ageless Pages Reviews

“If you love reading about strong female characters, women challenging the status quo, or learning about a culture different from yours, this book won’t disappoint you.”

—Sincerely Stacie
