Sadie hadn’t anticipated that the rumors would circulate through the office so swiftly, thrusting her once again into the relentless whirl of office gossip. Back when she married Noah, only a select few were privy to their union. Now, with Kyla’s return, Noah must be even more determined to distance himself from any association with her.
