About this book
"You can't just patch over what's broken and call it a day. You have to strip it back to what's sound and build from there."
My life was a perfectly curated, room-temperature routine. From the outside, my eight-year marriage was smooth, polished, and flawless—a beautifully maintained surface that hid a crumbling, silent rot underneath. I had become invisible, a woman holding her breath in her own home.
Then the hairline crack in the guest room plaster became impossible to ignore.
Enter Marcus. A massive, dust-covered demolition contractor who claims a room the second he steps into it. He didn't ask for permission to dismantle my space, and he didn't apologize for the noise. He handled his tools with an absolute, uncompromising alpha authority—and he looked at me with the exact same intent.
When his calloused hands found my skin, I didn't pull away. I crossed a line I never thought I’d cross, shattering my vows to find my own live nerve buried beneath the debris. My composure didn't just crack. It detonated.
