Synopsis

A second-chance romance that questions whether a whirlwind, week-long love story can still stir something three decades later.

In 1993, Lili and Reid lock eyes after a Jeff Buckley show at Sin-é in New York’s East Village. Their connection is immediate and intense—kicking off a steamy summer romance that cracks something open for both of them—but the pursuit of another passion cuts it short. Thirty years later, they’re both navigating midlife as single parents of teen girls when they cross paths once more. Can they find their way to each other through the complexities of adulthood better than they could during the relative simplicity of their youth?

A whirlwind romance is revisited in Found Time - our protagonist reconnects with a former flame 30 years after the fact. The love store was charming and I liked reading about a couple finding love in their fifties. I would’ve liked even more moments between the main character and her daughter (!!) t......more

Everything I wanted in a romance story! Longing, yearning and pining after years of being apart. Before Sunrise meets The Parent Trap. Nostalgic and laced with emotion. Packs a punch for a novella.......more
