WHEN HE FINALLY CHOSE ME, I WAS GONE

When the ballroom caught fire, her husband had eleven seconds to choose. He looked straight at her, and ran to the other woman.

Fourteen months later, he found her again, holding a baby with his eyes.

For three years, Sienna Castellane left the porch light on for a husband who never came home on time. She told herself the late nights were business. She told herself that Bianca Rhodes, the woman who pulled Damon from a frozen lake when they were children, was only a debt he could never repay.

On the night of their anniversary gala, Sienna had a positive pregnancy test hidden in her clutch. She was going to tell him at midnight.

Then the fire started.

Pinned to the ballroom floor with her hand burning, she watched the man she loved look right at her. And walk away.

She spent nine hours alone in a hospital chair. He never came. So Sienna packed one small suitcase, left her wedding ring on his pillow, and vanished into the snow, carrying a secret that would change both of their lives forever.

Damon Castellane, the man Boston calls the Iceman, was certain his wife would come back. Then the truth begins to surface. About the fire. About the woman he saved. And about a winter morning on the ice that he has remembered wrong for twenty years.

Now he has found her, in a fog-bound fishing town on the coast of Maine, playing her cello again and building a life that has no room for him. A kind man there is offering her everything Damon never did.

For the first time in his life, the billionaire who never waited for anyone will have to wait for her. But some wounds don't heal with an apology. Can a man who ran past his wife ever earn the right to be chosen again? Or did he lose her the moment he made his choice?

A heart-wrenching, deeply emotional story of betrayal, regret, a secret baby, and a love that has to be earned, one broken promise at a time. A standalone with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
