What happens when you lose the love of your life to a tragic accident? That is the question Amy Barton must figure out when Julia, her wife, dies. With a new son to look after, she is trapped in her grief, fearing she will never be happy again. Six years after Julia’s death, she meets Laura Reynolds at the cemetery Julia is buried in and the attraction is instant, but unwelcomed. She fights the feelings she has for Laura, but with her mother’s constant match making, and Laura’s charm, she is eventually won over by her and she begins to realise she can move on from her grief and begin a new life full of hope. Laura is enamoured with Amy, and her young son Aaron, and pursues her. However, it is clear Amy is still very much in love with her deceased wife. Laura must fight her jealousy and convince Amy they are worth taking a risk for. After finally deciding to make a go of it, disaster strikes again, and Amy must make the choice to follow her heart or hide it away, so it can never be hurt again. 53,300 words
