Nyla Baptiste knows how to preserve other people’s memories, but she no longer recognizes the marriage she is living in.

To the world, Levi Ward is the perfect husband. Powerful, polished, protective, and devoted in all the ways people can see. But behind closed doors, Nyla has been disappearing one small apology at a time. Every time she says she is fine, every time he accepts it, every time his silence leaves her lonelier beside him than she would ever be alone, another piece of their love slips further out of reach.

Then Nyla discovers the truth that shatters what is left of her trust. Levi did not touch another woman, but he gave her the private fears, late-night honesty, and emotional intimacy his wife had been begging for. Now Nyla must decide whether forgiveness is strength or self-betrayal, and Levi must prove that remorse means more than regret. It means telling the truth when it costs him, choosing his wife when no one is applauding, and learning that an apology means nothing if she has to carry it for him.

For readers who crave high-angst marriage-in-trouble romance, emotional cheating heartbreak, groveling husbands, painful truth, and an earned second chance that does not come easily, this story will hold you until the final page. Once Nyla stops apologizing for the loneliness she did not create, Levi may have already lost the only woman who ever truly saw him.
