Uncharted Waters

Lauren
I can say I’m content with the status quo in my life all I want, but even I know something or someone is missing. I’m sure I’ve missed out on so much in the dating world, and I want just a little bit more, but both genuine fear and my “thorny exterior” prevent me from going after it. Maybe it’s too much for me to hope for, but I’d like to meet a guy—quite by happenstance, like our fingers could brush over the same artichoke in the supermarket or something—whom I could trust enough to allow into my life… the life I have already carved out with my “lavender marriage.”
As it turns out, he might have been right under my nose all along, his green flags waving in the air just as proudly as my husband’s. The question is, can he handle all that my life brings from a past that nearly broke me?

Marcus
For years, I’ve lived in hiding, unwilling to show the world who Marcus Antonucci really is. All I want, however, is to live my life authentically—to shine as brightly as the sun itself. I hardly think that’s possible, though, when all my time is spent lurking in the shadows.
When someone from my past suddenly shows up again, in the most unexpected way, I’m unsure how to handle it. Then, it becomes evident that being in his proximity is going to be a regular occurrence, and I’m forced to take a step back and really re-evaluate my situation. Am I willing to throw caution into the wind to be with him again?
Is it worth allowing him into my safe little life I’ve built?

Caleb
I used to describe myself as a thrill seeker, and admittedly, yes, a bit of a die-hard romantic. After an accident irrevocably changed my life, however, I’d say that was the old me. The new me prefers to play things safer and also finds it easier to keep to himself. I’d liken myself to the moon, persistently there but not always visible. It’s not until I’ve become fascinated by the one woman who truly sees me that I start to believe that a romantic relationship might just be possible for me again.
However, once things start getting serious with her, I’m in for a surprise—an old flame shows up, and feelings that I thought were once dead and buried resurface. I can’t possibly hold that much space in my broken heart for the both of them, can I? And at what cost? Because grief and guilt weigh on me like an anchor, constantly holding me in place.
Do we have what it takes to venture into uncharted waters together?

This book is meant for mature audiences, aged 18+.
