Two grieving widowers find comfort in each other as their slow-burn romance crescendos in a passionate sexual awakening—and a second chance at love.

Dr. Layanna James has mastered the art of healing broken hearts—except for her own. At forty, she’s one of the world’s top cardiothoracic surgeons, but the sudden loss of her husband, Angel, has left her devastated and clinging to the routine of a life that no longer makes sense.

Caleb Black knows grief intimately. A retired pro athlete, he once dreamed of traveling the world with his wife, Maria, but then illness took her far too soon. Now grounded in Winston Hills, he finds unexpected solace in Layanna, the one woman who truly understands his pain.

What begins as simple comfort between two mourning souls slowly simmers into something more: a deep connection fueled by desires too strong to ignore. And when Caleb’s ex-girlfriend and her fiancé come onto the scene, the four engage in a new kind of relationship that promises to fulfill the emotional and physical needs of each.

But love isn’t easy when it’s tangled up in the past. Eventually, long-buried secrets make their way to the surface, threatening to pull Layanna and Caleb apart. As they navigate their complicated feelings, they’ll have to decide what they’re willing to risk for each other—and if they’re ready to work through the cracks of heartbreak.
