Please Keep Your Distance, My Ex

For three years, Cecilia Nixon lived in a marriage with Nat Gold that held no warmth, and he never once touched her. The clipped account leaves her mother's role in the matter unsettled, so the story sets up a marriage stripped of affection and a woman who is quietly enduring it. Romance, pregnancy, and a CEO's cool exterior hint at a second chance between two people who once shared a home. The tension between distance and the pull of the past drives the story forward.
