The Wife He Discarded - A Second-Chance Reunion Novel of Broken Vows, Rebuilding Trust, and a Guaranteed Happy Ending #999684

She won the biggest contract of her career on a Tuesday morning.
By Tuesday afternoon she was standing in a sunroom full of dust and old light, face to face with the man she'd spent four years not thinking about on purpose.
The bid had been blind. She hadn't known who owned the estate. Julian hadn't told her — because if he had, she wouldn't have come, and he needed the best restoration firm on the coast, not the best firm that was still speaking to him.
Vivienne Hale hasn't spoken to Julian Voss in four years. She built an entire company in the silence between them. She told herself she was healed. She told herself the marriage was a long time ago and not worth getting into.
Then she found the room at the end of the east hallway.
Built-in shelving. A window seat angled toward the marsh. Good light, morning sun, exactly as she had once described — at their kitchen table, six years into a marriage, four months into a pregnancy that hadn't lasted — the room she had imagined as a nursery.
He hadn't bought the house because of the room. He hadn't remembered the room until he stood in it alone, the week before closing, and had to leave for an hour before he could go back inside.
He kept it anyway. He said he was tired of running from every room that hurt.
