He was the love of her life. He’s my husband.

Then: Ally

I didn’t think my heart could take it when David and I ended things. He was my first love, my everything. But as soon as he met Charlotte, I knew that nothing would ever be the same. We were friends once, me and her. But some things are too broken to fix… aren’t they?

Now: Charlotte

The hospital waiting room door flies open, and I look up desperately, willing somebody—anybody—to tell me that David is going to be alright. But it’s not a doctor. It’s Ally; her face pale, her hair wild. It’s years since we were close, but I’d know her anywhere. She loved my husband first, and I suspect still owns a piece of his heart that I’ve never managed to get back.

How did she hear about David? Why is she here? But then her eyes fill with tears. “It’s Joe,” she whispers, “my husband. He’s had an accident too. But they won’t tell me anything…”

Our husbands are fighting for their lives, and all we can do is wait. With the future so uncertain for us both, Ally and I begin to untangle the past. After all these years of secrets and hurt, has fate thrown us together again for a reason? One thing is certain: after tonight, nothing will ever be the same again…

From the bestselling author of Always You and Me, comes a completely heartbreaking and emotional page-turner about love, friendship and impossible choices. Perfect for fans of Shari Low, Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon.
