All of Me. A Lovesong Encore Novel - Leslie J. Wyatt

It's never too late for love

At sixty-three, with a failed marriage, a dead-end job, and a bone-deep belief that all men leave, Jessamine Jo Woodley-Jessie-has just lost the one person who ever truly chose her: Auntie J. But Auntie J's final gift changes everything. Jessie inherits a trust fund and a cabin in the mountain town of Woodcreek, Colorado-on one condition: she must complete a series of carefully planned trials, all overseen by Finnegan Cooper Conrad, a guarded lawyer carrying wounds of his own.

As Jessie works her way through Auntie J's tasks, she begins to rethink her life-and the more time she spends with Finn, the more she wonders if some men might actually stay. But when the past reaches into the present with devastating consequences, Jessie's fragile new belief shatters, and Finn's own wounds deepen the fallout. Now Jessie must decide whether to let her past write the ending-or fight for the man she's finally dared to trust.
