A Kind of Forever: Finding Forever Book 1 (Paperback or Softback)

In college, Syndey Carlton and Ry Lee were in love and inseparable. Until a viral photograph outed Ry to his conservative parents, who swooped in and forced Ry to leave college without saying good-bye.

Heartbroken, Cart did his best to move on. He finished law school and even fell in love again—only to lose his husband to cancer. He’s still reeling from that loss when Ry joins the same San Francisco law firm where Cart works. But any hope he’ll finally learn the truth of Ry’s disappearance is thwarted by Ry’s impenetrable walls. It’s clear this Ry is not the man he fell in love with.

For Ry, returning to his home town comes with a lot of risks, and seeing Cart again is just the tip of the iceberg. The conversion camp his parents sent him to left him unable to look at another man, let alone one he still loves. But he’s also two years away from being free of his parents’ manipulations and living life on his own terms.
Inevitably, Ry and Cart are drawn back together. But Cart’s pain still runs deep, and Ry’s determined to beat his parents at their own game. There’s no denying the love they once shared is more than an echo from the past. But with so much at stake, dare they risk their hearts one more time?

Note: A Kind of Forever is a second-chance romance that takes place twelve years after A Winter’s Dance, the prequel novella to Marie Sinclair’s Finding Forever series. It can be read as a standalone. This book contains references to attempted suicide, conversion therapy, depression, and self-harm, as well as depictions of PTSD and panic attacks.
