A short-read contemporary romance.


She had already had a great love. She hadn't planned on another.

Margaret Ashford’s life is elegant, composed, and complete. Widowed for a decade, she has built something meaningful in this charming university town: a life of purpose, respect, warmth, and careful equilibrium.

Then Kit Cavendish walks into Holly Lane Books.

A bestselling children’s author with wind-tousled charm and an unmistakable steadiness beneath it, Kit unsettles her from the very first conversation. He looks at her as though she is not finished living. As though she is only beginning.

A cliffside picnic.
A dance at sunset.
A sail beneath a wide, reckless sky.

With Kit, Margaret feels something she hasn’t allowed in years, desire threaded with warmth, laughter edged with danger. But when old grief surfaces in ways she didn’t anticipate, she must decide whether protecting her heart has quietly made her life smaller.

Because comfort is safe. But love asks for more.
