An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers lesbian romance about finding heart, hope, and second chances you never thought you'd have.

Stella Carter is a former criminal prosecutor and new widow facing down middle age alone in Los Angeles. Without being a prestigious lawyer and someone's wife, she's not sure who she is anymore or where her life is headed.

When she invites her niece to move in with her, Stella accidentally reconnects with her former colleague, LAPD Captain Elizabeth Murphy. The woman is beautiful but cold; someone she was always at odds with on the job.

Surprisingly, Stella finds herself leaning on her niece and Elizabeth more and more to navigate her loss. But as time goes on, Stella can't keep seeing Elizabeth and pretending she's not attracted to her. Besides, there's absolutely no way Elizabeth feels the same way. Is there?

Contains mature themes.

I really like this book for realistic perspective on loss and grief, therapy, and difficulties navigating new relationship later in life. I enjoy Emily Waters' style in general and will buy anything she writes. Narration was a bit slow, but speed can always be adjusted

Warm, feel good book

I liked that it was a slow burn and Stella was complex. The story had good pacing and I liked the love interest

I really love this story. It deals with the complexity of grief well. The missing someone while trying not to feel guilty about acknowledging they aren't perfect. How hard the feelings are to face and process. How sometimes who is there for you in times of crisis is a surprise and a beautiful discovery that can change you.

I really liked, too, how gradually we see how Elizabeth was getting more from her transforming relationship with Stella than it first appears from the beginning despite Elizabeth appearing to do all the work in the early days of the novel because of how non-functionally depressed Stella was at the start of the novel. It's a good reminder that if you feel like you're taking more than you give to a relationship sometimes you don't see what you're giving to someone else. So I say to anyone grieving: if someone wants to be there for you do your best to let them rather than pushing them away. Being trusted to be someone's support is a gift in itself and a balm to the soul.

This was a good story and quite a journey. It evoked a lot of emotions, I was a little worried about the grieving aspect, but it was exceptionally well written and super relatable. I loved, loved, loved the age of the main characters and that they were both experiencing this awakening together. I found that rather perfect, and not often done. All of the characters were amazing and I loved them - real, honest, strong, relatable women. Oh, and the slow burn was very much worth the wait! The sex was hot! The narration was well done and oh, what a voice!!!
Thank you for this.

I very much enjoyed this book.
