H.C. and Noelle spent years finding their way back to each other. This time, nothing is standing in their way.
They have finally learned how to exist in each other’s lives without destroying themselves.
Then proximity gives way to something neither of them is willing to walk away from again.
For the first time, there are no marriages between them, no other lovers, no impossible timing. They are free to discover what their love looks like when it no longer has to survive on stolen moments.
And for a while, it is everything they imagined.
But H.C. has never belonged entirely to himself. His career has been built on an image, protected by an industry that knows exactly what that image is worth. When the machinery surrounding his fame begins making choices about their relationship, Noelle is forced to ask how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice for the man she loves.
They spent years fighting for the chance to choose each other.
What happens when love is no longer the difficult part?
Some silences earn their echo.
