At fifty, Emily Wilson never imagined starting over.
She gave her life to her husband and raised two grown sons—only to be cast aside like she never mattered. Betrayed by the man she trusted for decades, humiliated by his young mistress, and abandoned by her own children, Emily is left with nothing but a suitcase and heartbreak.

With nowhere to go, she leans on her bold, divorced best friend, who drags her to the big city to start fresh. There, Emily learns how to laugh again, find a job, dress for herself—not for anyone else—and slowly rebuild the woman she once was.

But just when she thinks life has given her all it can, he walks in.
Zayn Callahan — 25, rich, powerful, and emotionally shut down. A man with money but no warmth. Women want him for his name. He wants nothing—until he meets her.
Emily, with silver in her hair and sorrow in her eyes, is everything Zayn never expected to crave. And for Emily, Zayn is a dangerous temptation… young enough to be her son, yet looking at her like she’s the only woman left in the world.

Can two broken hearts heal each other, or will the world around them tear it apart before it begins?

This is not just a love story.
It’s a second chance. A defiance of age. A reminder that it’s never too late to be seen, desired, and truly loved.

From Housewife to Heiress

Back in the interview room, Eliot stepped forward.

"You've been selected. Please come with me."

The blonde girl's mouth dropped. "Wait—what?"

"Are you kidding?" the third girl said. "Her?"

Emily clutched her file tightly and stood. "Oh—yes. Thank you."

As she followed Eliot down the quiet hallway, her heart thundered. What just happened?

They stopped at a tall, black glass door. Eliot opened it. "He's waiting."Emily stepped inside slowly, breath caught in her throat.

There he was. The man from the flower shop. In a suit, sitting behind a desk with the confidence of someone used to being obeyed.

Zayn looked up, a slow smile playing on his lips. "We meet again."
