Undone — Crystal Cierlak

Nick (a famous pop star) and Layla met and fell in love when they were both young and stupid, and fell into the superficial trappings of fame and wealth. They soon discovered that they brought out the best and the worst in each other, and their marriage - a secret to even their own families - suffered as a result."The Romance of Nick and Layla" is a series of six novellas that tells the story of a couple's dysfunctional relationship over the course of ten years. UNDONE (Part 5):Cheating is a concept Layla Garrett is familiar with, having lived through her ex-husband's multiple transgressions throughout their many years of marriage. They've both paid for his sins with their love and their happiness, and after years apart they've managed to repair their damaged relationship into something resembling "normal", albeit with other people beside them. Unfortunately, Layla has discovered that what once was given cannot be fully returned, and for her that is the one thing she gave to Nick wholly and unconditionally: her heart. And it is in her heart where she keeps that which matters most: his love, a love that has never diminished, a love that continues to fight for her despite every obstacle against it, and a love which she cannot escape… not even when the chance for new love comes around. Can a heart be given away twice, when it's given fully away first?Previously, in DAMAGED (Part 4):The romance of Nick and Layla has been an exercise in mistakes and missteps.

Yet, whatever life throws at them they always seem to find a way back together. Until now. They've barely survived the worst tragedy imaginable, but it's taken a toll and this time they have broken beyond repair. Years and thousands of miles have kept them apart, and just when Layla thinks she can live again Nick is suddenly there,
