Emily is a writer, a mother, and a woman who knows heartbreak all too well. Still carrying the weight of her divorce, she’s spent the last few years rediscovering who she is—quietly rebuilding a life on her own terms.
Lucas is a devoted father, an architect, and a man who’s grown used to the quiet after loss. His marriage may have ended, but his love for his daughter, Lily, grounds him in something real and enduring.
When a dating app brings Emily and Lucas together, their connection is instant—but falling in love in midlife isn’t quite so simple. With kids, careers, and past wounds in tow, blending their worlds proves as complicated as it is hopeful. Emily isn’t sure where she fits into the life Lucas built before her, and Lucas is still learning how to open his heart again.
Told through alternating perspectives—and love letters written but not always shared—Emily’s Next Chapter is a heartfelt story about finding love again after loss, navigating the fragile space between parenting and partnering, and discovering that it’s never too late to begin again.
