I Was Done Being the Understanding Girlfriend

After five years of loving Ryan Cole, Emma Miller gives him three chances to choose her: marriage or goodbye. Each time, he chooses Lily Evans, his fragile childhood friend, until Emma cancels the ring, sells the home she helped build, and walks away. Ryan expects her to return, contrite and jealous. Instead, she starts over, meets calm, steady Ethan Reed, and learns what being cherished should feel like. When Ryan finally realizes what he has lost, his apologies, promises, and sudden wedding plans arrive too late. Emma has stopped waiting—and this time, she will not ever look back again.
