Cassandra
Growing up, I was mesmerized by a man soaring the skies: the greatest silk aerialist in the world, Chandler Moreau.
The day before my parents died, they took me to see his circus, and it was then I knew my fate was sealed. I would do everything in my power to perform with them one day. To perform with him.
Little did I realize, he would be far more than I’d ever imagined him being. Far more than just a mentor. He was a man I didn’t want to live without.
And someone I wanted to keep safe from a past that seemed to keep following me.
Chandler
My entire career, I’d been waiting for the right student to take under my wing. A protégé with whom I could share my lifelong journey in the circus.
Little did I know it would be Cassandra Blackstone, a woman who'd grown up admiring me from afar.

My grandfather's taunting words still linger: "Mieux vaut plier que rompre." Adapt and survive.
Those words were not just his adage, but also unmistakably true. A reminder that Cassandra and my shared history seemed to intertwine us more than the silks we’d spent our lives mastering ever could…

But he already knows—he wants her, all to himself.
Nine days into their child-free life, he quits his job and announces he’s home to stay. So Angelina announces she’s returning to nursing, this time in home health care.
In his new basement workroom, Will enjoys making boxes, but the quiet house sends him in search of music, where he meets Stella who reveals more than the magic of iPods.
Meanwhile, Angelina's first patient is an unpredictable woman named Lucy who reveals a particular magic of her own, as does her billboard-painting son, John Milton. As Angelina and Will’s life together becomes increasingly tense and their days apart become increasingly comfortable, it looks like Will may be the one to get the empty house.
Love Like This drops you inside a long-term marriage, where you’ll be screaming either stay or go—as you weigh the value of sticking with the familiar versus the value of venturing into the unknown.
