Cornerstone (The Mercy Universe #1)

Wendy has loved her husband, Atlas, since she was twelve years old.
He was her first kiss. Her first love. Her forever.

Together, they built what everyone else called a perfect life. They married young, raised two beautiful boys, and were still deeply in love.

Until Atlas pulled away.

Wendy does everything she can to save their marriage, carrying the weight of the house, the kids, and all the invisible labor no one ever sees. But when Atlas doesn’t show up to their final resort, marriage counseling, Wendy makes a choice that breaks her heart.

She stops waiting for him.

As Wendy rebuilds her life and rediscovers the woman she was before she became a wife and mother, Atlas begins to unravel. Watching his sons look at him like a stranger, and the woman he’s loved his entire life slip through his fingers, forces him to confront the truth he’s been running from.

But to heal their fractured marriage, Atlas will have to face the real reason he pulled away.

And what does it have to do with his brother’s late wife, Carrie?

A deeply emotional, marriage-in-trouble second chance romance about the damage silence can do, prioritizing mental health, forgiveness, and finding your way back to the person who has always been home.
