Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Joss is an independent woman, successful in her own way. She had everything she needed in her life except for love. It was something she felt she needed in order to feel complete. She unknowingly found herself being manipulated by love and sex. HER journey of love came from different platforms of dating, from meeting Drew at work, bumping into Sawyer at a convenience store, simply making a post online, prompting Micah to respond, to even answering a simple hello message on Messenger from Jaxxon. Each of these men fell head over heels in love with her, spending months and even years with her, leaving her to find out she was in the middle of a love affair she didn't know she was a part of. She discovered each man was hiding who he really was and what he really wanted, their secrets being told to her by someone other than the men themselves--their wives! Finding out the truth seemed more unreal than HER relationship with the men she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with, resulting in her walking away with the heartbreak the men caused. She empowered HER self so she may reign over the heartbreak and the fact these men chose HER to be the one they lived their double life with. In the end, coming to realize she didn't need love from a man, she was destined to go through her own unique journey of love, finding HER worth and being okay with the love she has for HER self!
