Nellie has edited hundreds of love stories, but writing her own happy ending has never felt harder. After losing her first husband, she never expected to fall for someone again—until Daniel walked into her life and offered her a future she thought she’d buried. Just as their relationship begins to progress, her late husband’s family arrives for a memorial visit, stirring up guilt, doubt, and every emotion Nellie has tried to outrun.
Then a threat from Daniel’s past resurfaces, cracking open old wounds and putting their fragile new beginning at risk. Suddenly Nellie’s real life is starting to look like the messy middle of a rom‑com, minus the guaranteed happy ending. With only a week to keep her life from unraveling, Nellie must confront the fears she’s avoided for years. She finally has a second chance at love—and she’ll fight to protect it before the next plot twist tears it apart.
