But behind her perfect smile lies a woman at war with her own reflection. Her insecurities grow heavier by the day, making her question her worth, her purpose, and her place in Marcell’s life.
Marcell Phillips has only ever wanted to give Avery the world. As a Senior Brand Strategist, he’s under immense pressure to prove himself at work, especially with a tough boss and cutthroat rivals. His most loyal ally? Courtney West, a stunning and compassionate graphic designer whose loyalty and presence are growing harder to ignore. And Saige, Marcell’s manipulative ex and the mother of his oldest son, thrives on stirring drama and refuses to let their marriage breathe.
Then life brings a tragedy that neither Avery nor Marcell is prepared for. Heartbreak deepens the distance between them, and a danger they never anticipated threatens their fragile peace. With secrets exposed and emotions fragile, they must decide what their love truly means.
