He Always Loved My Sister - Until I Left
He loved the wrong sister and it cost him everything.
Amber Ann Lance-Trace is a highly successful biochemist who built a perfect life—perfect house, perfect job, and a marriage to the charming and handsome, globe-trotting entrepreneur Dan Marcus Trace. The only problem? Their five-year marriage was built on the consequences of one drunken night. To add insult to injury - Dan has always been in love with Amber Ann’s older sister, the glamorous, humanitarian Jessica Jeanine Lance. Amber Ann knew the truth but settled for being his second choice, desperately hoping time would turn his heart.
Emails from Jessica – heralding her eminent return home after six years abroad – shatters the delicate sham. Just thinking of her husband and sister rekindling their old flame is the catalyst Amber Ann needs. With a silent plan already in motion—a filed resignation, signed divorce papers, and a secret new property—Amber Ann leaves behind the mansion, the career, and the pain, symbolically handing her house keys to Jessica and walking out of her life forever. She is finally ready to build the dream her family always dismissed as "just a hobby": a specialized bakery on the peaceful outskirts of Carson City.
But Dan, suddenly given what he felt he had always wanted, finds his fantasy quickly unraveling. Jessica is selfish, critical, controlling, and focused on changing his entire life, while Amber Ann's quiet competence and selfless support are suddenly and painfully absent. When a document courier arrives delivering the final divorce papers, Dan is confronted with the shattering reality: the stable, loving life he took for granted is gone, and the woman he had grown to love has left without a word.
Now, Dan must face the brutal truth: He let go of the right sister. The chase is on to find Amber Ann, confess his true feelings, and convince the brilliant, newly independent woman that his second choice was the right choice all along.
