My Husband's Other Wife Was My Maid of Honor

Synopsis

Thirty-one-year-old payroll analyst Nora Whitaker's perfect life shatters when she accidentally discovers a photo on her friend's phone: her husband Grant, her maid of honor Mara, and a three-year-old girl named Poppy — their secret daughter. The affair began at her own engagement party, six years ago. And every single one of her friends has known all along. Instead of falling apart, Nora goes cold and methodical. She digs into bank records, property deeds, and legal documents, uncovering a web of deceit far worse than infidelity: Grant forged her signature to sell her late grandmother's house, he took out a $160,000 home equity loan in her name, and — most shockingly — he legally married Mara in South Carolina while still married to her. Bigamy. A felony. With the help of razor-sharp attorney Renata Cho, Nora orchestrates her revenge. She persuades Mara, who has also been living Grant's lie, to stand with her. At Grant's law firm partner promotion gala, in front of four hundred guests, Nora takes the stage in a red dress and lays bare every crime — bigamy, forgery, fraud. Mara walks in with three-year-old Poppy, who spots her father and cries out "Daddy!" for all to hear. Grant is disbarred and imprisoned. Nora reclaims her grandmother's house. She and Mara forge an unlikely bond — two women betrayed by the same man, finding their way forward, separately yet somehow together.
