She’s already lost everything once.
She’s not about to risk her heart again.

Meredith Prescott is rebuilding her life one careful step at a time after divorce, after grief, and after everything she thought would last didn’t.

The small-town support group she joined out of desperation has become her safe place. A place where honesty feels safer than hope.

Until Jack Callahan walks in.

And suddenly… the life she’s rebuilt doesn’t feel as steady as she thought.

Once a world-famous musician, Jack walked away from fame when it nearly cost him everything. Now sober and determined to keep his life small and steady, he isn’t looking for a romantic connection.

But Meredith changes that.

What begins as a cautious friendship built on truth, boundaries, and second chances, slowly becomes something neither of them expected.

And neither of them is ready for.

But when the past refuses to stay buried, they’re both forced to face the question they’ve been avoiding:

Is love worth risking everything again?

And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is begin again.
