Emma Lewis lives a life of quiet duty as a merchant's wife and mother to Alfie, her brilliant, nonverbal son. When Abigail Sterling arrives as a tutor, she brings not just groundbreaking methods to reach Alfie, but a startling, radiant freedom Emma has never dared to know.
As her husband remains distant, Emma finds herself drawn into Abigail's world; a world of intellectual passion, secret book clubs, and a love that defies every convention. Their connection is a lifeline for Emma and a miracle for Alfie, but with her husband's return looming, their fragile sanctuary is threatened.
For readers of the lush historical romance of Tipping the Velvet and the slow-burn yearning of Fingersmith, Yearn for You is a deeply sensual and emotional short story of forbidden love, the courage to choose an authentic life, and the silent, powerful lessons of the heart.
