About this book
A woman with a ticking clock and a carefully guarded heart finally comes face-to-face with the one man who's always made her feel truly alive—her sister's ex-boyfriend, Dean Cole. When he crashes back into her world eleven years later demanding a second chance, she's forced to confront the forbidden feelings she's never quite managed to shake, even as her illness reminds her that time might be the one thing she can't fight. What unfolds is an achingly tender story about seizing love when you're acutely aware of how fragile life can be, and about finding someone brave enough to stand beside you through both the beautiful and brutal moments. If you're a sucker for second-chance romance with emotional depth and characters who feel devastatingly real, this one will absolutely wreck you in the best way.
