“Naomi Reed spent three years waiting for a husband who never had time for her. When she finally leaves-without anger or explanation-Victor Hale assumes she will return, just like always. But the woman he knew as Naomi is gone. Alone, she discovers her own strength, her own voice, and becomes Maya-a woman who will no longer wait for someone else to define her. Victor soon realizes the cost of his neglect, but Maya has moved on. Winning her back is no longer an option; she is now a woman who lives for herself.”
