Lori Williams spent years locked in the shadows of grief after losing her beloved husband, Thomas. For so long, she believed happiness was something she had buried with him — until a persistent suitor, John, gently begins to awaken parts of her heart she thought were lost forever.
Struggling between holding on to the memory of the man she loved and daring to imagine a new future, Lori faces impossible choices. As she rebuilds her life piece by piece, the unexpected pull toward John grows stronger, but so does the guilt and fear of betrayal to her past.
When old wounds are reopened and new promises are made, Lori must find the courage to break free from her fears — and from the chains of the past that bind her. But love isn’t simple. Hearts will be tested, loyalty will be challenged, and Lori must decide: Can she truly embrace a second chance at love without losing herself — or breaking someone else's heart?
