After nearly twenty years in a controlling and abusive marriage, Sana Harper is finally ready to choose herself.

Leaving her husband, Todd, means starting over at forty-one with her daughter, Aleena, in Las Vegas. Financially drained and carrying the weight of everything she's survived, Sana knows starting over won't be easy.

But she also knows staying isn't an option.

Sana is determined to rebuild her life, rediscover the woman she used to be, and create a new beginning for herself and her daughter.

Then she meets Dean Carter.

A successful widower and loving father, Dean is kind, protective, and laid-back—the kind of man Sana once dreamed of but never believed she could have.

And the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to keep her heart guarded.

But just as Sana begins to trust again, the past refuses to stay where she left it.

Todd's constant harassment threatens the life Sana is working so hard to rebuild, forcing her to confront a question she has spent years avoiding:

Can she truly leave the past behind and allow herself to receive the love she has always deserved?

This time, Sana has a choice.

And this time, she's ready.
