From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes an angst-ridden new standalone romance about love, loss and the journey to forgiveness. Lydia couldn’t help but wonder whether, if Stephen ever put just a little of the time he devoted to his causes into ‘them’, gave her just a little of the attention that he gave the people he helped, then perhaps she might feel a little more relaxed about marrying him and a little less worried that, now she was officially his consort, he’d done with romancing her and no further effort was required.
