68 - 25: When Love Refuses to Count the Years
He was 68. She was 25. The world saw the difference. They saw each other.
Richard Ashford believed the great love of his life was already behind him. A successful widower who has learned to live with loss, he expects the years ahead to be quieter, predictable, and safely his own.
Then he meets Elena Duarte.
Twenty-five, finishing university, fiercely independent, and carrying burdens Richard knows nothing about, Elena enters his life through an ordinary encounter on a waterfront pier. What begins as a simple job slowly becomes a connection neither of them expected-and neither can dismiss.
But falling in love is the easy part.
Their forty-three-year age difference turns a private relationship into something everyone believes they have the right to judge. Richard's daughter sees danger. Society sees scandal. Friends see impossibility. And Elena is hiding a secret that could prove them all right.
As pressure builds, Richard and Elena are forced to confront a question far more difficult than whether they love each other:
Is love still worth choosing when choosing it may cost you everything else?
68-25 is an emotionally charged contemporary romance about two adults separated by a generation but drawn together by something neither age, expectation, family, nor fear can easily defeat.
Provocative without being sensational, tender without being sentimental, 68-25 explores grief, desire, judgment, second chances, and the courage required to build a life that other people refuse to understand.
For readers drawn to unconventional love stories, emotionally mature romance, forbidden relationships, and novels that challenge the rules about who is-and isn't-supposed to fall in love.
Some loves are measured in years. Others are measured by the courage it takes to choose them.
