Lauren Gallagher

The Saint's Wife Lauren Gallagher

Two people who have been way too strong for way too long, a whole lot of justifiably broken vows, and three hearts who are running out of time to find forgiveness... David Lamont would move mountains for Chris, his best friend and business partner. Now Chris is dying, and he only wants one thing-his estranged wife by his side until the end. David can't imagine why he'd want that spiteful woman near him, but agrees to talk her into coming back. Joanna McQuaid reached her breaking point a long time ago. Chris is oppressive, manipulative, and downright toxic. But she can't divorce him. Not without becoming a pariah for abandoning a pillar of the community during his final days. She's desperately lonely and torn apart by guilt over wanting to leave a dying man. She resents David for dragging her home and defending her husband's behavior. He thinks she's spoiled, ungrateful, and callous. But when he learns his friend isn't the man he knew, David sees a side of Joanna he never imagined. A side he can't help falling for...
