A Work in Development

For a woman who has edited hundreds of romance novels, Nellie’s own happy ending feels out of reach. After the death of her first husband, Daniel has offered her a second chance at happiness and love. But just as Nellie begins to hope for a future with him, her in-laws arrive to celebrate her late husband’s memory. Bringing more confusion than comfort, the well-intentioned relatives test Nellie's determination to be brave.

Problems escalate when an unexpected threat emerges to tear open deep wounds from Daniel’s past and jeopardize everything Nellie has built with him. Nellie never thought she’d find love again. Now that she has, she’ll do anything to protect it. With only a week to keep everything from spinning out of control, keeping her romance from becoming a rom-com cliché is the least of Nellie’s problems.

Nellie must face the fears buried inside herself to save her and Daniel’s story—or risk the next plot twist breaking it apart.

When not at work, K. A. Ross is finding new stories, discussing old stories, or writing her own. If she’s not thinking about stories, she’s either trying not to be too invested in sports or climbing up a mountain so she can run down it. She lives in Utah but considers any open space with a view home.
