An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers lesbian romance about finding heart, hope, and second chances you never thought you'd have.

Stella Carter is a former criminal prosecutor and new widow facing down middle age alone in Los Angeles. Without being a prestigious lawyer and someone's wife, she's not sure who she is anymore or where her life is headed.

When she invites her niece to move in with her, Stella accidentally reconnects with her former colleague, LAPD Captain Elizabeth Murphy. The woman is beautiful but cold; someone she was always at odds with on the job.

Surprisingly, Stella finds herself leaning on her niece and Elizabeth more and more to navigate her loss. But as time goes on, Stella can't keep seeing Elizabeth and pretending she's not attracted to her. Besides, there's absolutely no way Elizabeth feels the same way. Is there?

Contains mature themes.

The story is incredibly realistic and deals with themes such as death, depression and grief. It’s not exactly a romance novel but instead a deep story with romance on the back burner. It’s life.

Kinda depressing

The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life. The burn was slow, but worth the wait.

Wonderful love story of mature women

I liked it, however it's not one I'll read again. The first part kinda dragged on, Stella dealing with loss was the main focus. It was emotional yet depressing. The last half of the book got better, and a lot less frustratingly depressing.
Narration was EXCELLENT, Miss Watley did an excellent job. 👏

Pretty good

I loved this book, it is well written, it deals with late bloomers, and over 50 YO, talks to me in so many aspects. Anastasia Watley is an excellent narrator and she really did an excellent job with this one…

A book for us older women
