Life Without You

After the sudden loss of her husband, Tyler, Linda is left trying to piece together a life she no longer recognizes. The future they built together is gone in an instant, replaced by an aching emptiness she can't escape. Even with her chosen sisters surrounding her with love and support, nothing can quiet the grief of losing the man who was her everything.

Linda doesn't believe she'll ever feel whole again... until a chance encounter changes everything.

Killian is doing his best to hold it together for his young son, Luke, after the devastating loss of his wife. On the surface, he's steady, controlled-focused only on moving forward. But beneath it all is a grief that mirrors Linda's own. And when Luke forms an instant, heartfelt connection with her, Linda finds herself drawn into their world in ways she never expected.

Through quiet moments, shared understanding, and the kind of comfort only two broken hearts can offer, Linda and Killian begin to heal together. What starts as something fragile slowly grows into something deeper-something that feels dangerously like love.

But love after loss is never simple.

Linda can't shake the guilt of opening her heart again, terrified that moving forward means leaving Tyler behind. And with Luke already growing attached, the risk feels even greater-because if she lets herself fall and it all falls apart, it won't just be her heart on the line.

Now Linda must decide if love is something that only happens once...
or if, even after unimaginable loss, the heart can learn to beat for someone new.

Reading Unexpected Romance and Unexpected Reunion will give you a little bit better understanding of the characters but is not necessary. This can 100% be read as a standalone if you so choose!
