Something needs to change if their marriage is going to work. But how far is too far?

Lia Dahl always thought you meet, fall in love, get married and have your happily ever after.

Why did no one tell her that marriage could be so damn hard? Her parents always made it look so effortless. After falling in love with Jax the moment she saw him, she’d assumed their marriage would come just as easily. Apparently not.

Jax has always been driven. Passionate. Laser -focused. And when that attention is directed at her? Wowza!

Unfortunately…lately…he’s all about work. So much so, he missed their anniversary.

How can the guy who surprised her by staying up all night to refloor her dance studio be so clueless?

Well, Lia has never been one to sit idlly by and let life happen to her. It’s time for drastic action to get this marriage back on track. This will either be the jumpstart they need… or the final nail in the coffin.
