Ava Reynolds didn’t plan on starting over at thirty-two—not as a single mother of two, and definitely not with a broken heart.
Just as she’s finding her footing, a chance encounter with Amani—a soulful musician visiting Los Angeles—throws her off balance in the best way possible. What begins as a brief connection blossoms into a love that feels safe and real, not defined by need but by choice. But love comes with complications she never expected, including learning to navigate co-parenting and blending a new family.
In this beautifully woven tale of growth, love, and second chances, Ava learns that healing isn’t about forgetting the past—it’s about creating space for something new.
