{"product_id":"an-unfaithful-heart-9780057789097","title":"An Unfaithful Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeraphina Calloway always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLos Angeles shimmered beneath the evening sky, a city painted in gold and glass, ambition and illusion. From the balcony of the Hayes residence in Beverly Hills, the skyline looked almost gentle, softened by distance, romantic in its quiet glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the house, warmth lived in a way that had nothing to do with architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeraphina Hayes stood at the kitchen island, barefoot against cool marble, her silk dress falling loosely around her frame as she reread the final paragraph of her manuscript on her tablet. A faint crease rested between her brows, the only sign that she was one of the most celebrated contemporary novelists in the country and not no merely a woman waiting for her husband to come home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt thirty-three, she carried herself with confidence, not loud or attention-seeking, but the kind that stayed in the room . Her success had not hardened her. It had deepened her. Her stories were known for emotional realism, love that bled, forgiveness that cost something. Readers trusted her because she wrote with honesty .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe heard the familiar sound of the front door unlocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDominic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shift in her expression was immediate, subtle but undeniable. The tension in her shoulders softened. Seven years of marriage had not dulled that instinctive response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDominic Hayes stepped inside, tall, composed, his presence commanding without effort. At thirty-five, he had built an empire most men twice his age would envy, tech ventures across Asia, renewable energy partnerships in Europe, investment firms on both coasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the moment his eyes found Seraphina, something softer settled over his sharp features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe crossed the room without removing his gaze from her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ersland Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780057789097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Claire Dunphy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679567802549,"sku":"9780057789097","price":23.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/an-unfaithful-heart-9780057789097","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
