A love that was never meant to happen… yet impossible to resist.

Rose has spent most of her life in control—of her choices, her desires, and her carefully guarded heart. In her forties, she has long made peace with solitude, convincing herself that love is a fleeting illusion best left behind.

Until Steve.

Across distance and time, their connection grows into something neither of them can deny—intimate, consuming, and deeply real. When they finally meet again in a secluded winter cabin, what was once longing becomes something far more dangerous: a passion that blurs the line between need and surrender.

But their love comes with a cost.

Steve belongs to another life—one that Rose can never fully be part of. And as their stolen moments turn into something deeper, the question lingers between them:

How long can they hold on to a love that was never meant to last?

Set against a backdrop of snow-covered nights and quiet confessions, Waiting for Joy: A Forbidden Affair (Volume 1) is a sensual and emotionally charged story of desire, secrecy, and the fragile hope of finding connection—no matter how fleeting.

This is Book 1 of The Joy Trilogy.
