Jumia Books After Wife Author: Lauren Biel

After Wife by Lauren Biel is a provocative, emotionally layered dark romance novella that explores the complexities of love, identity, and reinvention after marriage. The story centers on a man in a crisp black suit, his tie adjusted by a woman whose touch is both intimate and loaded with history. Their connection is not new—but it’s no longer what it once was.

Set in the aftermath of a fractured relationship, the narrative delves into what remains when vows are broken and roles are redefined. Is love still possible when trust has eroded? Can passion survive the weight of betrayal, grief, or transformation? The title After Wife suggests not just a change in status, but a reckoning with selfhood, desire, and emotional truth.

Lauren Biel’s prose is elegant and intense, perfect for readers who crave romance that doesn’t shy away from the messiness of real emotions. The cover’s sleek styling and subtle tension hint at a story where power, vulnerability, and longing collide.
