Summary

Their love was supposed to last forever. But when life delivered blow after devastating blow, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love had its limits...it couldn't save their marriage.

Yasmen wasn't prepared for how her life fell apart, but she's finally starting to find joy again. She and Josiah have found a new rhythm: co-parenting their two kids and running a thriving business together. Yet, like magnets, they're always drawn back to each other, and now they're beginning to wonder if they're truly ready to let go of everything they once had.

One stolen kiss leads to another...and then more. It's hot. It's illicit. It's good - until it starts to hurt again. As old wounds reopen, Yasmen and Josiah wonder if it is too late for them to find forever.

Or could they be even better, the second time around?

Award-winning and bestselling 'powerhouse' author Kennedy Ryan is at her absolute best in this compelling, scorching novel about hope and healing, and what it truly means to love for a lifetime (USA Today).

BEST AUDIBLE BOOK I'VE LISTENED TO

OMG. I don't even know where to start. Kennedy Ryan is truly a gifted author. This book is heartbreaking, life affirming, uplifting, sad, hopeful, funny, joyful... I experienced ALL the emotions listening to this. Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem are excellent narrators as per usual. Sensitive subjects so delicately handled ad only Kennedy Ryan has the skill to do. If you like her 'Flow', 'Still' series, then you'll love this book. I'm pre-ordering the next book in this series.

Favourite book of the year

When I first saw the book I instantly fell in love with the cover. I never expected to fall in love with love again or find my new favourite author. Thank you for writing this masterpiece of a book, I feel like mature romance is needed. We don’t hear about what life can actually do to relationships enough. We get sold a fairytale & don’t understand the work that’s needed. I love this book for many reasons, it was perfectly written. It was raw, natural & believable I was routing for them both. I loved, LOVE this book. In fact I’m going to re-listen to it now on @audible_uk the narrators do an excellent job in bringing the story to life.

Full of heart

I loved this book! Had me laughing and crying and feeling all the feels. I was even crying during a steamy scene 😂 Kennedy Ryan writes grief, loss and heartbreak so well - I fully believed in the characters and was rooting for them!

Kassim is an absolute sweetheart!

The performances really added to the experience - bringing the characters to life. Jakobi Diem’s voice is sexy as…

Beautiful Story, beautifully told.

All the feels on this one: love, loss, heartbreak, vulnerability, honesty, truth, mental health, anguish, teenage angst the list goes on. Kennedy Ryan weaves a spell with her words that intertwine with your own emotions causing you to take a long hard look inside. Do believe the hype. A true Storyteller indeed. Props to the narrators as well. 👏🏾

painful but healing

Kennedy Ryan is a masterful story teller, her words are lyrical and being emotions and connections to characters other authors don't bring. This story is traumatic to check your TW. But as ever Ms Ryan does an amazing job with a difficult topic
