From Broken Vows to Sunlit Promises: Welcome to Verbania
When her husband demands an open marriage on their fifth anniversary, Betty is blindsided, her world shattered. Fleeing to the salt air and candy-colored shops of Verbania, she starts to pick up the pieces—the parts of herself she lost in the marriage, what she sacrificed to keep the peace.
She also starts dating, but only to make her husband jealous. (Don’t tell him there are no men involved.)
Then she meets Bennett—awkward, kind, and entirely consumed by work. Betty grabs his hand and drags him to the beach, the ice cream shop, and into every quiet joy he’s never known. Their friendship forms quickly but steadily, each showing up for the other in ways neither expected.
With Bennett beside her, Betty discovers that love doesn’t ask you to settle or change. Real love ignites your fires while never letting you get burned.
