An innocent wife. A desperate husband. A no-win situation.

When suburban Atlanta stay-at-home mom, Pace Kelly, finds out she’s pregnant three years after her husband Jason’s vasectomy, her once happy marriage is pushed to the breaking point. Forced to put his dream of opening his own architecture firm on hold, Jason Kelly tries to get excited about another baby. But a trip to the urologist leaves him staggered. Despite Pace’s insistence that she hasn’t cheated, Jason is left to wonder if his blueblood wife has finally grown tired of his humble background and their middle class lifestyle. Unable to chalk it up to an error, Jason does the unthinkable. But the truth he discovers is a heavier burden to carry than the innuendo that was eating him alive. Now the tables are turned and he’s left holding a smoking gun. When the smoke clears, will their marriage survive?

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Southerner Christy writes what she wants to read—uplifting, heartwarming women's fiction stories for all the romance readers out there who love an emotional page-turner with a good dose of family drama. There's usually a lot of love and loss, some sibling and friend dynamics, and an unexpected new beginning, but there's always a happy ever after.

From the Inside Flap

Christy Hayes has been an indie author since before indie was cool. She's written almost twenty romance and women's fiction novels and novellas since 2011, including the USA Today Bestselling Heart of Glass. She took an extended break in 2015 to ghost write The Power of Faith When Tragedy Strikes, A Father-Son Memoir by Chris and Terry Norton. Happy ever after is the name of her game.

Violence: fisticuffs
Language: ~170 including deity and FBombs ~20
Sex: married people fooling around, few details, easily skipped
What a roller coaster! I'm still thinking about this book even months after reading it. The rating is for the language. The heroine is so strong and the storyline is FANTASTIC. So clever and intriguing. I'll read more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, Quick Read
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2011

This book is sort of a case study of what happens when we don't talk to our loved ones. Jason and Pace are sort of happily married but they have a little bit to work on, including talking to each other to make sure their relationship doesn't go astray. While I reading this book, I happened to also be taking a communication training class. I felt that Jason and Pace would have done well to take a class like that. They definitely would avoid some of the issues they faced in the book. Mis-communications can happen though, especially in relationships even those that we've been in for a long time. We don't say what we need to say or we're afraid to ask the tough questions. In that way, I thought the book was really realistic.

Pace's dad is a U.S. Senator and while the book takes place in Atlanta, you can get a little taste of that DC flavor, which I really liked.

This book is well written and really pulls you in. I found myself rooting for the characters and hoping that everything turns out okay. It's not a high brow book but the characters are really realistic and relatable.

Bottom line: This is a good quick read.

I loved this story and would highly recommend it to everyone. I absolutely will read more from this author. I felt like Jason and Pace were my neighbors and I wanted to help them figure out what was going on. Loved the end where Pace and her mom worked things out and Jason was finally accepted. Would have liked for Pace to have stood up for him sooner, but glad with the way she finally did. It was a refreshing read and very moving emotionally. Thank you for the end where we found out how things can got mixed up, I was not expecting that explanation. Loved, loved, loved this story.

Her husband had a vasectomy three years before. That marriage hit ruff grounds because of that diagnosis. Can any marriage be able to bounce back from the crisis? There was a side story about her parents and the fact of her fathers high profile life and secrets that could explode when came to light.

Wow! This was an amazing rollercoaster ride of a book. Well worth the ride!!!!! It shows that life truly has ups and downs. It also proves that there are things in life that we have no control over and how it can effect our lives (and possibly others) and in turn change us. Really a wonderful story. Yes, it was a bit sad at points. Yes, at times, I wanted to yell at one or more of the characters in the book. But, it's that what a good book is all about? Hope this helps.

Happy Reading,

Just finished reading this book and it was a good read although a bit slow in getting to the actual problem with the main character. The last half of the book is a lot better and faster paced than the first part although the male lead is almost too good to be true.

A story about trust in your marriage partner no matter what. This story follows Pace and her husband, Jason as they try to out their marriage back together after a mistaken pregnancy test. It also follows Pace's parents going through infidelity, too.

I don't usually review books. As an avid reader I'm normally on to the next one straight away! However I really enjoyed the characters in this book. They read like true people and not just weak willed wall flowers needed to be so for the final reveal to work. A well written, well paced, thoroughly great read. A definite recommend from me.

Not my usual genre but an enjoyable book. I won't say it was spoilt by the numerous typos and homophones - peaked instead of piqued, internment instead of interment for example, (to say nothing of a grammatically awful 'should have went') but the author needs to look for a better editor/proof reader.
