Some people survive their past. Y/N is still learning how. At twenty-five, she’s built a quiet life for herself and her little girl after escaping an abusive relationship. Love is the last thing on her mind—her daughter will always come first. But when she attends her best friend Felice’s wedding, one unexpected meeting changes everything. Wilhelm is kind in all the ways she’s forgotten people can be. He never pushes, never asks her to trust him before she’s ready, and somehow wins over the most important person in her life first: her daughter. As friendship slowly turns into something neither of them expected, Y/N finds herself wondering if it’s possible to stop surviving… and finally start living. But the past isn’t finished with her yet, and when old wounds resurface, she’ll have to decide whether risking her heart is worth the chance of finding the family she never thought she’d have.
