Happenstance = happen + (circum)stance
It means a chance occurrence, accident or coincidence.
Taryn Ballard is happily married to Wade, they have a great life together and are very loving to each other.
Nothing could tear them apart, right? Wrong.
Taryn has a new job, a job she loves, a job she is extremely good at. She is given the chance to make a difference in the company. On her way to a meeting she gets lost. Taryn calls her work colleague Devin to get directions and as she is talking she finds herself dragged from her car and suffers a traumatic attack. Devin rushes to her rescue, taking her to hospital and staying with her until she is discharged.
Prior to this Wade starts to feel jealous of his wife's new found vigour for life, her job, and what he believes is her growing attraction to Devin.
Devin has feelings for Taryn, but as far as she is concerned her marriage is what is important, and she feels nothing more than a passing attraction to Devin.
However these feelings become slightly confused following her attack, and subsequent rescue.
On returning home Wades jealousy becomes harder to handle, and the decision she makes radically changes the direction she believed her life would go in.
Taryn, Wade and Devin are all struggling to cope with their feelings and fate again intervenes to throw a spanner in the works.
Does this second hand of fate deal a better set of circumstances for them? Will their lives ever be the same again? Will all 3 have their happy ever after or, as the author writes on the title page, will it be "After Happily Ever".
This is a great novella with a really good story. The reader is left guessing, almost till the last few pages, what will happen to the characters. The author tells the story in such a way that I cared about what happened to all of the characters involved, I felt for them all in having to go through so much.
I really enjoyed this story, one of the best I have read recently.
