From Essence best-selling author Gwynne Forster comes a moving story of love and family. When she inherits her aunt’s home, Susan Pettiford returns to North Carolina following a 16-year absence. After undergoing a hysterectomy, she seeks comfort in the arms of Lucas Hamilton. Although there is a palpable connection between the two, their fling lasts exactly one night—for Susan knows she can never provide a family, so she pushes Lucas away.
