Parallel Hearts - E-book - ePub

Emma Wallace's life is a model of order and practicality-or so she thought. At 32, this successful architect has meticulously planned every detail of her career and personal life, leaving little room for romantic entanglements. But when a freak accident involving a mysterious antique mirror shatters her neatly organized world, Emma finds herself living in two parallel realities. In one reality, Emma wakes up to find herself married to Luke Harrington, her high school sweetheart.
Luke is everything she thought she wanted: loving, stable, and devoted. Their cozy home and the promise of starting a family represent the ideal future Emma had always envisioned. But just as she settles into this seemingly perfect life, she's jolted into another reality where she's single and beginning a thrilling new romance with Ben Taylor, her witty and ambitious best friend. Ben, who has always been there for Emma, reveals that he's been harboring feelings for her for years.
As they embark on a passionate new relationship, Emma discovers a new side of Ben that matches her drive and ambition. Torn between the comfort of Luke's steady love and the excitement of Ben's electrifying chemistry, Emma struggles to balance her double life. With hilarious and heart-wrenching mix-ups, Emma faces a series of comic disasters-from sending a love note meant for Ben to Luke, to mistakenly planning two anniversary dinners.
Her friends and family grow increasingly concerned about her odd behavior, but Emma can't find the words to explain the impossible situation she's in. As the antique mirror begins to crack, Emma's worlds start to merge in surreal and chaotic ways.

With each crack in the mirror, Emma's choice becomes more pressing, and the stakes higher.
