Mara Bennett has spent twelve years being the wife who understands.
She understood the minor leagues. The injuries. The travel. The sponsors. The interviews. The endless last-minute things that somehow needed Grant more urgently than she did.
And Grant loves her for it. He just got a little too comfortable believing she would always understand. So when Mara asks for one thing, to show up on time for the arts-foundation gala she’s spent six months building, Grant promises he’ll be there.
Then his team wins. One postgame obligation becomes another. Then another. Cameras are everywhere, his beautiful publicist is beside him, and when someone asks why he isn’t already at his wife’s event, Grant laughs.
“Mara’s good. She always understands.”
Unfortunately for Grant, Mara hears him. And for the first time in twelve years, she decides she’s done understanding.
Now Grant has to figure out how to save a marriage he genuinely thought was safe, while Mara starts building a life that no longer moves every time his does. He loves her. She still loves him. That doesn’t mean she has to come back.
No cheating. No secret affair. He just managed to screw up the best thing in his life entirely on his own.
