Life has a way of uprooting us when we least expect it.
Jane Davenport has been shattered twice—once by the tragic loss of both her parents, and again by her own life-threatening diagnosis. She’s learned relying on people is risky, and the only thing she can count on is the scientific method.
Dr. Peter Livingston has always sought validation through achievement and professional success, masking self-doubt behind the expected uncertainty of his cancer research. Despite his dedication, Peter can’t shake the restless sense that life could offer something more. Even if he’s never stopped long enough to consider what more might be.
When Jane and Peter cross paths at Thanksgiving dinner, their shared fascination with scientific puzzles sparks a passion that’s as physical as it is intellectual. Sharing about her illness has always left Jane feeling like she’s on the outside, but with Peter, it seems she’s found someone who speaks a common language. Yet as their relationship deepens, the boundaries Jane has built to protect her heart and her life are challenged, and Peter begins to unearth the truth about his own desires.
Both must confront the fragile, often painful truth of what it means to truly love: that choosing themselves might mean letting go of each other.

She shares her home with a chaotic yellow lab, a cat who likes to sleep in her bathtub, and an assortment of wildlife that like to eat the vegetables that escape the confines of her garden.
