Roman Castelli

Roman Castelli has been divorced for four years. Not because of infidelity or a lack of love, but because of Leandra Perkins. His best friend was always the first person he told about his worries, plans, and decisions. He even preferred talking to her about his marriage problems rather than to his wife. What Roman never understood was that Leandra had secretly been in love with him. She manipulated things expertly, sowed doubt, and then played the innocent friend. His wife saw right through her. Roman defended her. In the end, he lost his marriage without ever understanding why. Four years later, the divorced couple runs into each other again at a wedding. Old feelings resurface, sharp remarks turn into familiar laughter, and one night together turns everything upside down. The next morning, they’re sitting over breakfast at the hotel. Roman wonders whether they deserve a second chance. Then his phone rings. Leandra Perkins.
