Romance
Sadie, a wealthy, elderly woman with a lifetime of regret, is facing the end of her days-her body ravaged by cancer and her heart heavy with unspoken truths. After years of living for others, she finally decides to embrace the woman she truly is: gay. Determined not to die alone, Sadie seeks out a sugar baby, hoping to find someone to fill the emptiness of her final years. But what begins as a transactional arrangement with a much younger woman soon blossoms into something more complex and meaningful. As Sadie navigates the fragile space between desire and vulnerability, she must confront her past disappointments and ask herself: Can this unexpected relationship become the love she's spent a lifetime searching for, or is it yet another fleeting illusion?

In Northvale, Vermont, appearances are everything-and silence is safer than truth. Riley swore she'd never go back. After Grace ghosted her the week she left, after the countless moments under the train bridge where Riley told her best friend, Grace, that she loved her, and Grace said nothing. She moved weeks later and never heard from Grace again. Northvale became a place Riley only carried in memory-a place that hurt. Years later, Riley is building a life far from it all in Chicago. But when something deep and unnamed pulls her back, she finds herself standing once again in the town that made her feel small. And standing face-to-face with Grace Whitmore's parents-who, with haunting familiarity, invite her to stay in Grace's house. The place where she practically grew up. Grace has spent the last seven years trying to forget. Forget how she froze. Forget how she let Riley leave. Forget who she really was before the expectations of her family, her church, and her town hardened into something unrecognizable. Riley's return threatens all of it. As the two women are forced to navigate a shared home, buried feelings resurface-and so do the forces that drove them apart. In a town that still watches their every move, Riley and Grace must decide what's more dangerous: pretending to be something they're not, or choosing each other and facing the consequences. ⸻ ⚠️THIS BOOK IS STILL IN THE MAKING AND MANY EDITS ARE TO COME⚠️
