I Blessed Their Marriage Instead of Ours

Seven years into his relationship with Isla Farrow, Nate Ellison discovers that she has legally married Damien Calder, the student she sponsors and a man ten years younger than her. Isla insists the marriage is only a convenient excuse to help Damien get wedding leave for a volunteer trip and promises to divorce him before finally marrying Nate. But one betrayal leads to another—from missed anniversaries and secret meetings to a hickey Isla cannot explain and a divorce she only pretends to complete. Nate has spent years believing he is the one person Isla could never abandon, but Damien is slowly taking his place in every part of her life. When Isla asks for yet another chance, Nate realizes that seven years of love cannot excuse endless lies. This time, instead of waiting for Isla to choose him, he chooses himself—and wishes the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness.
