Starting with a Divorce by Gloria Warren

What happens when a loveless marriage meets a life-altering proposition? Ainsley Baldry's world shatters when her husband, Cason, presents her with divorce papers, three years into a marriage that existed in name only. Cason's heart still belongs to his first love, Kaliyah, and her return has ignited a fire he can no longer ignore. Ainsley, aware of Cason's lingering feelings and the circumstances that led to their union—a marriage of convenience orchestrated for his grandfather’s sake—faces a pivotal choice. For three years, she dutifully played the role of the perfect wife, managing the Baldry household and fulfilling her obligations. Now, she’s offered a way out: a staggering $12 million, houses, and cars, a wealth of compensation in exchange for her signature. Faced with the cold reality of her husband's desires, Ainsley agrees to the terms. This sweeping **romance** explores themes of sacrifice, unrequited love, and unexpected freedom. As Ainsley navigates this new chapter, she grapples with questions of identity and purpose. Her mother-in-law, Lindsay, breathes a sigh of relief, having always favored Kaliyah as Cason's true match, adding another layer of complexity to Ainsley’s predicament. While Cason races towards a future with Kaliyah, Ainsley is left to pick up the pieces of her past and forge a new path. Will she use her newfound wealth to build a life of her own, independent of the Baldry family? Or will the sting of Cason's rejection lead her down a road of unexpected **romantic** entanglements and dramatic twists? Discover a world of **contemporary romance** where love is a battlefield and the price of freedom is higher than Ainsley ever imagined. Will Ainsley rise from the ashes of her past, or will her heart forever remain entangled with the man who asked her to leave?
