When friendship matters most, Ellie, Jen and Mara have been
there for each other, ever since their college days.
Although they are each at a different stage in their
personal lives, they are each facing heartbreak because of
that most troublesome of legal documents -- the prenuptial
agreement.
Ellie and Michael have the perfect marriage, their three-
year-old daughter Hannah is adorable and Michael's parents
are wealthy and supportive. When Ellie finds explicit text
messages on her husband's phone, she thinks nothing could
be worse than discovering his affair. After weeks of
marriage counseling, Michael sends Ellie for a day at the
spa, and she realizes things are much worse than she ever
imagined. The pre-nup she signed will protect her though,
won't it?
Jen and Eric were best friends when they got married almost
five years ago. The spark has gone out of their
relationship, but Jen stays busy by concentrating on
marketing her anti-soda drink product. When a man from
Jen's past returns to town and her business suddenly takes
off, she will have to re-evaluate what is most important in
her life. A secret pre-nup could ruin everything for her
now.
Mara and Ben may not be the perfect couple, but their
wedding is only a few months away. Mara is an
uncompromising career-focused lawyer, while everyone knows
Ben is the sweetest guy around. When Mara insists they sign
a pre-nup, Ben balks at planning their divorce before the
wedding ceremony is over. But Mara can't forgive herself
for a one-night stand, especially after Ben adds a no-
cheating clause to the pre-nup!
Three intertwined stories told in alternating chapters by
Ellie, Jen and Mara make this novel hard to put down. While
the women support each other through their friendships, no
one else can take away the pain that a failing romantic
relationship can bring. A range of human emotion plays out
as each woman confronts her dilemma differently. Beth
Kendrick creates a careful examination of a contentious
contract in this highly entertaining story.
All you need is love? For the residents of swanky Mayfair
Estates, a pre-nup is just another item on the wedding to-
do checklist—but three friends get more than they
bargained for when they promise to love, cherish . . . and
sign on the dotted line.
Ellie married her
handsome, wealthy Prince Charming when she was young,
naive, and willing to sign a one-sided pre-nup in the name
of true love. But seven years and one toddler later, her
happily-ever-after has come screeching to a halt. If she
can’t save her marriage, she’s determined to save her
divorce, and she’s not about to let a lot of legalese
stand in her way.
When Jen married Eric, he knew
she wasn’t head over heels. Still, he insisted that they
were perfect together and even bankrolled her blossoming
business. But when Jen’s career finally takes off, she
realizes that she may lose her husband. If Eric leaves,
Jen will lose everything—including the marriage she values
more than she thought.
Up-and-coming attorney Mara
is sure her fiancé has forgiven her for a foolish one-
night fling—until he adds a “cheating clause” to the pre-
nup she had demanded. If he really trusts her, why
the clause? And if she’s really trustworthy, why is she
objecting?
As romance collides with real life,
three very different women turn to each other for moral
support and insights about how to safeguard their most
valuable assets: their hearts.
