Two strangers, one summer house & a little bit of unexpected love.

Norah:
I really wish everyone would stop looking at me like my husband died. It’s been over a year and while it hurts, I’m happy to be getting back to myself. My job at the bookstore, my reading and my nights alone are what keep me going. When Alana asks if I mind her friend staying with me for the summer, of course I say yes. I mean this house is big enough to fit a library. I just don’t expect her to be the first person I’m attracted to since my husband.

Gemma:
When my college best friend asks me to be her maid of honor, I’m honored. She offers me a place to stay, as long as I don’t mind a roommate for the summer. She doesn’t mention how beautiful Norah is. What starts as awkward roommate interaction, soon begins to be the best part of my week. That is, until she tells me she’s carrying her dead husband’s baby.
I don’t know what to think, but I’m afraid I’m already falling in love with her.
