Her husband says he still loves her. He just cannot bring himself to choose her.
For eleven years, Elena Vasquez believed she and Marcus had built the kind of marriage that could survive anything. Their life was stable, comfortable, and carefully arranged-even as the silences between them grew longer and the man sleeping beside her began to feel like a stranger.
Then Elena smells another woman's perfume on his collar.
A hidden messaging app confirms what her heart already knows. Marcus has been having an affair with Serena for eight months. But when Elena confronts him and demands that he end it, Marcus delivers a truth more devastating than any lie: he loves his wife, but he cannot give up the other woman.
Elena stays, hoping that history, loyalty, and eleven years of love will eventually make Marcus choose their marriage. Instead, she finds herself accepting fragments-shared meals, familiar touches, desperate apologies, and nights that almost feel like the life they once had. Every compromise costs her another piece of her dignity.
When Serena finally calls, the two women discover that Marcus has not merely divided his heart. He has constructed different truths for each of them, leaving both women to compete for a man who refuses to surrender either life.
Now Elena must make the choice Marcus would not.
She can continue surviving on half of his heart-or walk away and recover all of her own.
Half of His Heart is an emotionally gripping novel about infidelity, marriage, humiliation, self-worth, and the painful courage required to stop begging someone else to choose you.
