Never Getting Her Back novel Chapter 19

Clara had no idea what Selina was getting at. She was just a new hire with no real connections. Why would they need her for such a major deal? Was it only because she was Damon's ex-wife?

But Damon didn't love her. Their divorce had been clean and final, and they hadn't spoken since. What made Selina believe he'd compromise just because of her?

"Damon and I were basically married in name only. He never loved me, and there was never any real connection between us. We split on good terms, and that's all there is to it. From what I know about him, he's loyal and thoughtful, but he sticks to his principles when it comes to big decisions.

"If you think bringing me along will help close the deal, I hate to break it to you, but that's not going to happen."

Selina found Clara's description of her marriage a little strange.
