Three years ago, Emma Collins thought her life was complete.
She had a loving husband, a cozy home in the suburbs, and a beautiful baby girl, Lily. But her world was shattered in an instant when her husband was killed in a tragic car accident. Since then, Sophia has poured everything into being a mother, keeping her heart locked away to avoid any more pain.
Now, for the first time, Emma decides to step out of her comfort zone and take a leap of faith—a holiday in Europe with Lily, hoping to rediscover a piece of herself. But what starts as a trip to heal old wounds takes an unexpected turn when she meets Leo Matthews, a carefree and adventurous man nearly a decade younger than her.
Leo is everything Emma doesn’t expect: bold, funny, and unafraid to live in the moment. Against her better judgment, she finds herself opening up to him, and for the first time since her husband’s death, she begins to believe in the possibility of love again.
But what starts as a dream quickly turns into a nightmare when a long-buried secret comes to light—Leo was the driver responsible for her husband’s death.
Now, as the holidays come to an end and Valentine’s Day approaches, Emma is faced with an impossible choice: forgive the man who has brought light back into her life or walk away from love to preserve the memory of the man she lost.
What will Emma choose when love feels both like a gift and a betrayal?
