About the book
In three powerful, unflinching stories, Simone de Beauvoir explores the unraveling of identity, love, and purpose in the lives of women past their first youth—women who once believed they had everything figured out.
In The Age of Discretion, a respected intellectual faces the pain of aging and irrelevance. The Monologue plunges us into the furious, unfiltered thoughts of a woman consumed by betrayal. The Woman Destroyed tells of a wife whose seemingly perfect marriage is shattered by unexpected loss.
With sharp wit and unsparing honesty, de Beauvoir captures the fragility of passion and the slow, painful realization that nothing lasts forever. The Woman Destroyed is an essential, thought-provoking read from one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.

A one-night stand with a tattooed, soulful hottie? Best decision ever. Discovering he’s a hockey star on my father’s team? Worst.
I had no idea who Miles was when we had our perfect, no-strings-attached night. He didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter, either. Now, I’m the team photographer, and he’s strictly off-limits. We swore to keep it professional—until one post-game moment shattered that rule.
When I agree to dog-sit his rescue pups, I see a side of Miles that’s genuine, thoughtful, and impossible to resist. He listens, he gets me… and he looks at me like I’m everything. But if we risk this, am I putting my heart—and my father’s team—on the line?
