7 parts Ongoing Matureasystole: a condition in which the heart ceases to beat.
Aubrie Burnette once believed in forever. She had the ring, the dress, and a life mapped out-until it all crumbled twenty minutes before "I do." Now, at thirty-two, she has sworn off love, convinced she is too imperfect, too broken, to risk her heart again.
Billie O'Connell knows how to keep her world under control. A respected therapist with a sharp mind and a sharper tongue, she's spent years pretending her own scars don't exist. Self-doubt runs deeper than she'll ever admit, and judgment-of herself most of all-has become second nature.
Neither woman is looking for love. But when Billie and Aubrie cross paths, the pull between them is undeniable. What begins as hesitant conversation turns into something neither expected: a chance to see themselves reflected in someone else's eyes-not perfect, but still worthy.
Haunted by exes, family expectations, and the shadows of their own past choices, they'll have to decide if true love is just another illusion-or if together, they can finally write a different ending.
