She thought she’d already lived her great love story—until grief revealed the truth.

Bestselling romance author Kelsi Jo Kincaid spent three decades writing happy endings and living what she believed was one of her own. But when her husband dies of cancer, the life she knew dissolves into a swirl of sorrow, silence, and unanswered questions.

In her attempt to process the grief—and help other widows do the same—Kelsi begins writing a memoir, crafting what she believes is a tribute to the love they shared. But the deeper she writes, the more the cracks begin to show. A letter, long buried, surfaces. So do secrets. And suddenly, the perfect marriage Kelsi thought she had begins to unravel thread by thread.

As she sorts through the wreckage of the past, Kelsi finds solace in a fellow widow named Claire. What begins as a tentative friendship soon turns into a love she never expected—and a self she never knew was waiting to be found.

But before she can move forward, Kelsi must face a devastating truth about the woman she was, the man she married, and the future she still has a chance to claim.
