After an abusive relationship cost you the career and connections you loved, two years abroad helped you find yourself again. Now you’re home, unsure whether you’re ready to return to the Jeffersonian—or let someone new into your life. Your sisters and best friend suggest starting with an email. Wendell Bray is kind, funny, and already adored by your niece and nephew. He also admires the forensic photographs you left behind, without realizing his new pen pal is the woman behind the camera. As messages become late-night conversations and a museum assignment offers a tentative way back to your career, you begin rebuilding a life that feels like yours. Somewhere between familiar faces and unexpected feelings, Wendell becomes someone you want beside you.
