Stolen Promises, Cost of Forever

"I’ll be gone for almost a year. Which woman would wait that long for a man?” Selina went still and said quietly. "A woman who love deeply would wait." A woman like her. She would have waited for Nicki. She had waited, even when he had abandoned her. Damon noticed the shift immediately. His eyes narrowed slightly. Then, slowly—“You. You would wait for him.” Selina looked up. For the first time since they had met, her guard slipped. Her eyes held something raw. A quiet, devastating vulnerability. She didn’t lie. She simply said, "Yes" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Selina found the One. Her soulmate. She fell in love. A love that consumed her… And she lost it in the worst possible way. He left her. Not just left—he abandoned her to marry another woman. All he left behind for her was a goodbye letter… and an unexpected gift. Selina was pregnant. She decided to build a new life, far from everyone she knew. Small problem? She had no one she could trust—except her sister, Margaret. With nowhere else to turn, Selina returned to her hometown, lost and unsure of what to do. She left married to her sister’s fiancé. Now, in a foreign country, with a husband who clearly doesn’t want her. Selina must find a way to survive—to carve out a future for herself and her baby.
