Love doesn't always arrive on time. Sometimes, it waits.
Tyler's wedding day ended in silence. Susanna never showed up-leaving heartbreak, unanswered questions, and a trust shattered beyond repair. Six years later, a child appears on his doorstep in the pouring rain, a tiny bundle with a familiar locket and a name that takes his breath away: Sicily.
Raising her alone, Tyler rebuilds a life of routine and quiet walls-until Susanna returns, hollowed by survival, haunted by the past, and desperate for forgiveness. Anger, guilt, and longing collide as old wounds reopen, and the truths she hid-pregnancy, illness, and impossible choices-come to light.
As they navigate grief, love, and the fragility of trust, Tyler and Susanna are forced to confront what they left behind-and what they can still save. With Sicily at the center of it all, they must choose between fear and hope, silence and truth, heartbreak and a second chance at love.
A slow-burning, emotionally devastating romance about trust, survival, and the courage to love again.
