Michelle Paparo never thought she would feel this way again. The intensity surprises her, the way her heart races when Casey Williams walks into a room. Casey feels it too, this electric connection that neither of them saw coming at this stage of their lives. They had both assumed that kind of all-consuming passion was behind them, something for younger people with fewer scars and complications. But here they are, falling hard and fast into something that feels both thrilling and terrifying. The love they share burns bright, but sustaining it proves more complex than either anticipated. They must navigate the realities of building a relationship when you carry decades of experience, when you know how badly things can go wrong. Michelle and Casey discover that loving someone in midlife means confronting not just your feelings for each other, but everything you thought you knew about yourself. Their romance becomes a test of whether two people can truly start over.
