THE SECOND PART OF THE LONDON SERIES

After Noah's tragic death, Izzy Thomson's world shatters. Grief consumes her, driving her into months of quiet healing with her best friend, Katy Johnson. But when solace gives way to solitude, Izzy retreats into isolation, pouring herself into work and rarely stepping beyond the walls of her flat.

Katy, a steadfast ally whom Izzy met through Noah when she first arrived in London, is her anchor during this storm. Yet even Katy's unwavering support can't fully pull Izzy back to life. That is, until a rare outing to Katy's baby shower introduces her to Luke Brown-a familiar face from their shared circle.

Their encounter is unexpected and bittersweet, stirring feelings Izzy thought were buried. When she takes on the role of caretaker for an intoxicated Luke that evening, his vulnerable state leads him to reveal a startling secret-one that sends shockwaves through Izzy's already fragile existence.

This revelation forces Izzy to confront haunting truths about herself, Noah, and the choices that shaped her life. Faced with uncertainty and doubt, she begins a tumultuous journey of self-discovery.

Step by step, Izzy starts to reclaim the pieces of herself she thought were lost forever. Through reconnecting with old friends, exploring new passions, and allowing herself to hope again, she begins to rediscover the light hidden within the darkness.

But her path is far from smooth. Moments of fear and failure threaten her progress, yet Izzy's resilience grows with each hurdle she overcomes. Along the way, she learns to forgive her past, embrace her imperfections, and believe in the possibility of a brighter future.

Izzy's story is a poignant testament to the power of love, loss, and the strength it takes to rise again. In even the darkest moments, there's a glimmer of hope-a promise of new beginnings waiting to be embraced.

A jilted, curvy accountant joins a gym on a journey of self-love. The last thing she plans for is to fall for her grumpy trainer. ***** Who needs men, anyway? Certainly not Joanna Lozano.

It's what drives her to be a successful accountant in the corporate world of Chicago.

Sage Kingston is a straightforward gym owner who appreciates and lives by the monotony of his life. His only goals are to provide and care for his young son after his divorce left him jaded.

Yet, with a new season of boot camp at his gym underway, he's instantly attracted to the curvy and feisty participant, Joanna.
