Shattered Love

Michelle believed Kevin Woods was the man she would spend her life with—until the worst ten minutes of her life revealed how little she truly meant to him. Kidnapped by an ex-convict seeking revenge against Kevin, a forensic doctor who once helped put him behind bars, Michelle is tied to a bomb with only ten minutes left on the timer. Her kidnappers force her to call Kevin, expecting him to come running. Instead, Kevin accuses her of lying for attention. While Michelle begs him to understand the danger, Kevin is busy helping his childhood friend Violet rescue her beloved cat. He dismisses Michelle's desperate warning as jealousy and ends the call without realizing it may be the last time he ever hears her voice. With the countdown approaching zero, Michelle finally accepts the truth she spent years refusing to see: whenever she and Violet needed Kevin, he had already made his choice. Her final message contains no accusation and no plea for help. Only goodbye. But when Kevin discovers that Michelle was telling the truth, regret arrives too late. Now he must uncover what really happened, confront the choices that destroyed their relationship, and live with the devastating possibility that some apologies can never reach the person who deserved to hear them.
