The Wife He Failed to See

Her husband never looked at her. Then the whole city did.

For seven years, Laurel Bennett gave her marriage everything: her dreams, her time and her devotion. She raised their son, stood beside Grant Ashford, and waited for the man she married to notice the woman he was slowly losing.

On their seventh anniversary, while Laurel waits at home, Grant is celebrating another woman as the heart of his family. Around that woman's neck are the heirloom sapphires he once told Laurel were locked away.

That night, Laurel asks for a divorce. Grant doesn't believe she'll leave. After all, where would she go?

He has no idea who his wife really is.

For four years, Laurel has secretly entered design competitions under the name Calder. Now she's a finalist in Chicago's most prestigious design competition, up against the powerful company her husband controls.

Every firm in the city turns her down except one. Elliot Navarro is a brilliant architect who sees her talent, respects her strength, and has his own reasons to hate the Ashford name. But Laurel is still married, a bitter custody battle is coming, and one wrong move could cost her her son.

Laurel has spent seven years waiting to be chosen. Is she brave enough to choose herself, and the love she never thought she'd find?
