Tuckaway Bay Series, Book 5. A Women's Fiction, LGBTQ+

Fade to Black Intimacy, Emotional

Book Description

She waited twelve years for the perfect moment. But the perfect moment never came. 

Alice McBain has spent her life pleasing everyone but herself—her husband, her daughter, her friends, and especially her boss, Marilyn Morgan. But Marilyn isn’t just the mayor of Tuckaway Bay and Alice’s superior—she’s also the woman Alice has secretly loved for over a decade.

Now, with Marilyn preparing to run for a state Senate seat, she insists on keeping their relationship under wraps until after the election. Her constituents—and her husband—must never know.

But Alice is tired of hiding. After years of whispers and waiting, she wants more than secret glances and stolen moments. She wants the life they’ve dreamed of—out loud and in the open.

When Alice finally takes a stand, the carefully constructed façade of her life begins to crumble. The fallout touches everything—her marriage, her family, even Marilyn’s campaign. And the woman who’s always put others first must decide what love means when you finally choose yourself.

A poignant, powerful story of identity, sacrifice, and the courage to live—and love—authentically.
