Kamryn Cunningham
aka “The Other Woman”
What, oh what is there to say about Kamryn? She’s a whole lot of everything compacted into one. Kamryn grew up in a world that she hated—a world full of labels, money, power-hungry people, and couples who are together only for status. With the high status of her family, she didn’t have many options on straying from this world. Things were expected of her, her life was planned out pretty much from day one, and those she loved most were used against her as a way of keeping her on her perfectly planned path. So she did the only thing she could do, she disappeared. After years of planning, she took off, changed her look, moved across the country, and opened the bakery she’d always wanted.
Even with her new best friend constantly trying to set her up, she stays away from men. She wants to just be herself, enjoy this time where she’s doing what she wants, and focus on baking. She isn’t the kind of girl who needs a man, and after the train wreck of a forced relationship back home, she’d prefer not to have one at all! But then she meets Brody—her best friend’s brother-in-law.
Kamryn’s heard about Brody and the horrible marriage he’s in. His entire family is constantly on him, trying to get him to divorce the woman who has single-handedly ruined his life—Olivia. And as the story goes deeper, Kamyrn finds out more and more about Olivia, sees how she’s slowly taking away all that is Brody, and learns why Brody has stayed with his manipulative wife through the years. Despite what Kamryn has heard, she knows better than anyone that there can be underlying reasons for staying with someone you don’t want or love, and it doesn’t change the fact that he’s married. Kamryn tries to stay away from him … she tries not to think about him. But neither of those are as easy as they should be, as they have been. Everything in her calls to Brody. It was as if she’d been living in the dark until she met him, and it’s hard going back to the dark when she’s craving the one man who can put light in her life. Even more when the man seeks her out, begging her to help him understand what this attraction between the two of them means.
But loving someone who belongs to another woman is painful—even if his marriage died five years ago. And it’s in that pain that we see, for the first time, Kamryn’s struggle. A struggle of a girl who knows she is the other woman … a home wrecker. A girl who can’t forget about Olivia even with the obvious hatred and issues between Brody and his wife. A girl who has grown up hating people who do exactly what she is doing. A girl who hates what she’s doing. And a girl who, despite everything, is undeniably in love with a man who isn’t hers.
