A story of heartbreak, healing, and the love you never saw coming.
Zarra Reynolds had it all figured out-until the man she trusted most shattered her world. After eight years together, James Moseley wasn't just her partner-he was her friend, her lover, her future. But when he suggested opening their relationship, Zarra's heart whispered no... and her instincts were right. One night changed everything.
Blindsided by betrayal, Zarra stumbles-literally-into a stranger in a stairwell while trying to escape the wreckage of her love life. He's sharp-tongued, stoic, and unexpected. But behind that steel gaze lies someone who sees her in a way James never did.
Now, on the verge of her 50th birthday, Zarra is forced to start over. Between therapy sessions, painful memories, and quiet mornings alone with her coffee, she never expected to feel anything for anyone again. But that stranger? He keeps showing up in her thoughts, in her life, and maybe, just maybe, in her heart.
What if the love that heals you comes after the one that broke you?
For fans of second chances, slow burns, and fierce women who choose themselves first.
After giving up the love of his life, David Morris had closed of the idea of ever falling in love again, that is until he met Monique. She reminded him so much about her, but would he be able to look past that and fall in love once again?.
"I'm not Michelle, David. I'm never gonna be Michelle so it's either me or her" Monique stammered, throwing her hands up in the air.
"Monique, please calm down" David sighed.
"Calm down? No! I'm not gonna sit around and wait for you to make up your mind so I'm gonna ask again. Who do you really want, David.... me or her?".
