Finding True North

At forty-four, Emily Oldman has rebuilt her life after a painful breakup. A new city and a new job offer the chance to start again, provided she keeps other people at a safe distance. Her best friend disrupts that plan with a birthday visit to a boutique sex shop, where Emily meets its owner, Tanit Schultz. Once a lawyer, Tanit has made a different life for herself, and her calm warmth unsettles Emily’s carefully arranged defenses. Their awkward introduction develops into a connection neither expected. Yet office politics threaten Emily’s fresh start, while Tanit has her own reasons to be cautious. This standalone Springfield romance follows two women learning whether making room for love can also mean finding their way back to themselves.
