Synopsis:
Mia Murphy may be married to the man of her dreams. But the man in her dreams is the one that got away—her high school crush.
Mia’s stuck in a rut, just like every other stay-at-home mom, and the only thing saving her from her monotonous routine is her perfect husband, Declan. He’s gorgeous, he adores her, and the man stole her heart with his sexy singing voice. Mia feels like the luckiest girl in the world, until she discovers that Mr. Perfect is not Mr. Faithful. Mia is devastated. Everything she once believed about Declan and their marriage is now covered in a big cloud of doubt and regret. On impulse, she kicks the cheating bastard out, pushing them into a separation that could mean the end of the picture-perfect couple.
But when Mia receives an invitation to her high school reunion, she finds herself abandoning the present for the oh-so alluring pull of the past. Although her heart still belongs to her husband, inescapable thoughts of her crush, Noah, resurface. And ten years later, Noah isn’t afraid to make his move. When the build-up of fantasies and ‘what ifs' comes to a head, sparks fly and it’s Mia’s turn to question if her marriage is everything she wants out of life. Searching for answers, Mia dives head first into dating Noah, falling further away from her husband and closer to her old flame.
But Declan’s not giving up so easily. Mia is his one and only and he’s not about to let another man win her heart.

I
would believe it, if it weren’t happening so damn frequently. I have no reason
for these subliminal messages to be intruding my dreams. I haven’t even had
contact with Noah since…See? I can’t even remember the last time.
Besides,
Declan is a good man, a hot man. Damn
great…at least, it is when we actually manage to find time for sex. When the
kids aren’t lodged in between us in our bed, or when he isn’t away on business.
It isn’t the glamorous life he’d promised me when he proposed to me in college,
but almost five years of marriage and two kids will do that to you. The
monotony of reality will suck the glamour right out of any desperate
housewife’s life.
That
is not my life. And it’s not that I
object. I’m happy. I’m in love. I have a great life. Okay, fine, I’m semi-happy, with my semi-eventful life. I know I shouldn’t be so ungrateful; there are
people out there who would give a right arm for my life, but it’s just so…ordinary.
Grace’s
text interrupts my recurring thoughts.
Hot
and steamy again? Did you…?
I
waste no time texting back.
Nope!
Not this time :( Woken too soon!
An
unexpected heat pulses through me, reminding me of what I was ripped away from.
Grace breaks me free of that fantasy too.
Don’t
worry. Declan will be home soon. LOL
She’s
right. And I plan to plop the kids right off at their Nana’s so that I can jump
his bones. Is it crazy that thinking of sex with another man makes me want to
jump my husband’s bones? Something’s wrong with me.
I
wash my face again, needing the cold sensation. “There’s nothing wrong with
you. It was just a dream,” I reassure my reflection, wishing I actually
believed it.
