Description

Bestselling author Shanora Williams delivers a deeply emotional story about two people struggling with loss who find comfort and strength in each other.

It has been seven months since Davina Klein-Roberts’ world was shattered. Seven months since she lost her husband, Lew, the man she thought she’d spend forever with. Left to navigate life on her own, she’s still unsure how to move forward.

Pouring herself into work, Davina focuses on growing Golden Oil Co., the skincare brand she built from the ground up. As her company edges closer to a major endorsement deal, she should be celebrating—but without Lew by her side, every success feels incomplete.

When she meets Deke Bishop, the charismatic NBA star she hopes to recruit as the face of her brand, she isn’t prepared for the effect he has on her. With his easy charm and undeniable presence, Deke is the perfect spokesperson. But it’s clear he’s interested in much more than just business.

As Davina gets to know Deke, she realizes he carries his own grief, his own past wounds. The more time they spend together, the more her feelings for him deepen—but so does her guilt. She’s already lost the future she once imagined. Can she allow herself to embrace the possibility of a new one?
