In Sag Harbor, two neighbors have mastered the art of being content. Or so they tell themselves. At thirty-eight, Aldo is a successful realtor with effortless charm and a past rooted in Rome, where family loyalty runs deep. He came to New York for a fresh start, not complications, and definitely not feelings he didn’t plan on. Charli, fifty-two, is a family therapist and single mother raising two teenage boys with grit, humor, and hard-won wisdom. Her life is full, her boundaries firm, and romance firmly off her radar. Theirs is a friendship built on trust, not expectations. Easy. Safe. Exactly enough. Until one dance blurs the lines they never thought would be crossed. What does love look like when it arrives later in life, unexpected, undeniable, and impossible to walk away from?
