One Hundred Chances to Break My Heart

Celia Brooks returns from months of healing abroad only to face a crushing truth: Nicholas Holden has cheated. They were childhood sweethearts for over twenty years and lovers for seven; Nicholas's constant favors made her trust absolute. The betrayal shatters Celia, but she refuses to surrender. Instead she refuses to end things; she gives Nicholas one hundred chances to hurt her, turning love into a ruthless experiment. Each chance becomes a wound and a test: is his devotion sincere or a comfortable lie? Tension tightens with every choice, forcing both to confront guilt, longing and pride. As the hundred count unfolds, Celia must decide whether endurance proves love or erodes the person she hoped to be.
