Mia didn’t mean to find Tori again. She definitely didn’t mean to want her. Divorcing, grieving, and lost, Mia only wanted help selling her mother’s house. She wasn’t prepared for feelings she never dared name to come rushing back — hotter, deeper, and far more dangerous than before.
Back together, and it’s like no time has passed. And when Mia realizes that home isn’t a place — it’s a person — she knows she can’t walk away again.
Old feelings resurface. New ones spark. And some loves? They never die. They wait.
A steamy, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance full of heart, heat, and second chances.
Mentions of past loss including passing of a parent and early-term miscarriage
