Exes With Benefits

***He wants a second chance. I want a divorce. To get what I want, I’ll have to give him what he does.*** From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Nicole Williams: The only benefit I want from my ex is a divorce. We got married for all the wrong reasons. The one thing we got right was our separation. I should have known better than to think I could bet on forever with a guy like Canaan Ford. Everything about him screamed impermanent, from his wild eyes to his restless soul. When I left him and the small town I’d spent my whole life in, I swore I’d never go back. Never only turned out to be five years. Canaan claims he’s changed, but he hasn’t—same knowing smile, same rough demeanor, same body crafted from sin and sinew. And yet, something is different. He thinks this is his chance for redemption. My disagreement comes in the form of divorce papers dropped in his lap. He refuses to sign them. Unless . . . He wants a month to prove himself to me—that’s his offer. One month to make me fall in love with him again and if I don’t, he’ll sign the papers. As much as I want to say no, I agree. I can suffer my ex for a short amount of time if that’s what it takes to be free of him once and for all. I fell for him once; I won’t make that same mistake twice. He says we’re not over. I say we were over before we got started. Only one of us can be right, and I can’t let it be him.

I'm a complete mess.I just broke up with his best friend.And now... I want him.I met Mark only a few weeks after my breakup with his best friend. And recklessly decided to do something stupid. I pretended to be his girlfriend. Allowing his arm to slide around my waist.And letting his hypnotic eyes meet mine. I knew I was smitten. I also knew this would lead to something real. But what I never thought would happen?A baby. Now, I'm pregnant and I'm in trouble. My ex is after my life. And Mark is my only hope. But would he protect me?Especially if he thinks the baby isn't even his?

He’s my ex. A billionaire. My hot new boss. It was over ten years ago when he left me for his football career, but now he’s back in town getting me all hot and bothered. Not only do I have to work with him every day, but now he’s joined my single moms’ group. He says that it’s discrimination not to allow him in. What does he know about breastfeeding? Nothing. What does he know about C-sections? Zero. But we live in a democratic society, and all the other single moms want him and his friends to join. Now I’m stuck with those dreamy green eyes, chiseled jaw, and sexy smile turning my parenting group into a dating service. It doesn’t take me long to realize that Hunter James has something in mind that’s much dirtier than parenting advice.

Packed with research, insights, and illuminating (and often funny) examples from Paris’s own divorce experience, this book is a “practical and reassuring guide to parting well.” —Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project Engaging and revolutionary, filled with wit, searing honesty, and intimate interviews, Splitopia is a call for a saner, more civil kind of divorce. As Paris reveals, divorce has improved dramatically in recent decades due to changes in laws and family structures, advances in psychology and child development, and a new understanding of the importance of the father. Positive psychology expert and author of Happier, Tal Ben-Shahar, writes that Paris’s “personal insights, stories, and research” create “a smart and interesting guide that can be extremely helpful for those going through divorce.” Reading this book can be the difference between an expensive, ugly battle and a decent divorce, between children sucked under by conflict or happy, healthy kids. This is “a compelling case that it’s high time for a new definition of Happily Ever After—for everyone” (Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time).
