Striking of the Match

Erin March prayed that the first round of the Fertilis Defect treatments would be life-changing, but returning home in utter conflict was something she'd hoped to avoid. While fresh images of David Elliott and the five beautiful days spent in his arms dance through her mind, the man she dedicated her life to stands before her with a bleeding heart. Their marriage of nearly fifteen years is no longer the peaceful union they built together, and neither knows how to find the deep connection they once had as it falls apart around them.

With only two weeks before her reunion with David, Erin struggles with her husband's need to rekindle their relationship. Todd knew the controversial treatments were his wife's only hope for survival, yet his growing resentment cannot be contained. When David arrives, things come to a head, and tempers fly. Ultimately, unplanned and unlikely events cause Erin to make the leave decision to leave Todd, and David sweeps her away to London and beyond.

Erin tries to make the best of every obstacle thrown at them, but outside forces haunt their every step and threaten to tear them apart. After an emotional outburst that makes her question her every decision, Erin hits rock bottom. She must decide whether to stay in the UK or go back to America and take the time she needs to heal if she and David are to have a strong, loving future together when she returns.
