All I'll Ever Need

Previously published as Promises of Forever in the Wedding Season Anthology (2019). Juniper Taylor and her husband, Lincoln, have been living as strangers in the same house for the last six months, their relationship cold, strained, and sterile. After so many months of icy civility between them, things come to a head at a family member's destination wedding. June is ready to pull the plug on her lifeless marriage. She is ready to move forward without the man she had once loved beyond all reason, the man who had abandoned her when she needed him most. But when June tells him she wants a divorce, Linc's response stuns her. Suddenly everything June believes about her marriage is brought into question and her plans for a quick and easy divorce spiral hopelessly out of control. June now finds herself caught in a battle she's not sure she can--or wants to--win. Please note that this standalone short story has been re-edited and contains scenes not included in the previous publication.
