Synopsis

Sometimes love finds you when you least expect it.

Zacary Trevor is the love of Anya Alexander's life. Their sometimes tumultuous marriage has survived ups, downs, and all the in-betweens. With successful careers, a lovely home, and a beautiful child, domestic bliss is a hard-earned reality for two people whose hedonistic days are in the not-so-distant past.

Enter Zac's best friend, the deeply reserved Cal Keller. Zac's friendship with Cal is the foundation of his career and—until Anya and their son came along—the most important relationship of his life. Cal's a cipher, someone Anya can't help but gravitate to, even if they don't always get along. Even more, she's drawn to the Zac she sees when he's with Cal—a careful, cautious version of her husband, someone with hidden thoughts and desires kept secret even from her.

Inviting Cal into their home, deeper into their life, is a risk.

Zac should say no. He knows he should. But he doesn't. From the beginning, the first hint at life the three of them could have together is exhilarating. And finding a new definition for family just might be worth the risk to every bond that exists between them.

Contains mature themes.

Borderline Personality Disorder seems like a really rough gig and I feel empathy and support for anyone who drew this particular short straw. This book helped me understand it a little better and to know better how to support people who have to live with it.......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on April 18, 2020

Although this book may seem simple (and to some degree it is), I think that it was a necessary step in the BPD literature. Have you ever read any books, articles, forums, or even just heard a person without BPD describe someone they know with it? There is NO SYMPATHY nor EMPATHY for these patients i......more

A MUST READ!!!! I bought this book about six months after I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I was having a rough time coming to terms with my diagnosis and what it meant for my future. This book shares individual stories of others with BPD and provides different outlooks from peo......more
