Why these tropes fit
A romance novel that picks up after Lily's divorce from Ryle, with whom she now shares civil coparenting of their daughter. When Lily unexpectedly runs into Atlas, her first love from nearly two years prior, she accepts his invitation to date, eager for a second chance at true love. The reunion is complicated because Ryle, although no longer her husband, remains entwined in her life—and deeply jealous of the man he considers unwelcome around his ex-wife and child. Told in alternating perspectives from Lily and Atlas, the story follows Atlas's revealed past and Lily's pursuit of new love while managing an antagonistic ex-husband's ongoing presence.
