My Husband and Friend Betrayal and Second Chances - Betrayed by the Two I Trusted #972808

Clara Bradford believed she knew what betrayal looked like.
It looked like her husband, Ander Hale, half-dressed on their couch. It looked like her lifelong best friend, Brinley McCormick, tangled too close in his arms. It looked like the two people she trusted most destroying her marriage in a single, breathless moment.
So Clara walked away.
For eight months, she rebuilt herself piece by piece. She buried the woman who used to believe in forever, threw herself into her career, and tried to accept the quiet kindness of a man who never asked for more than she could give. But heartbreak does not always end when the door closes.
Then Brinley returns with a letter in Ander’s shaking handwriting.
The affair was never real.
The betrayal was planned.
Ander is sick, slowly losing himself to early-onset Alzheimer’s, the same disease that once stole Clara’s mother. Terrified of making Clara relive that pain, he chose the cruelest lie he could imagine. He made her hate him so she would leave before love turned into grief.
Now Clara must face the husband who broke her heart to save her, the friend who helped him do it, and the unbearable question at the center of it all: can love still be love when it steals your right to choose?
Emotional, heartbreaking, and deeply human, Betrayed by the Two I Trusted is a contemporary romance about marriage, friendship, forgiveness, illness, and the second chance that comes only after the truth has done its damage.
