“From family secrets to heartbreaking lost love, the characters felt like old friends by the end. Highly recommended.”—New York Times bestselling author Kate Moretti
Sometimes you have to lose your way to find yourself…
Dr. Dylan Michels has worked hard for a perfect life. When her longtime boyfriend gets down on one knee, it’s the most perfect moment of all…but Dylan says no.
For too many years, Dylan’s been living for her late older sister, who never got the chance to grow up. Dylan thought being the perfect daughter, perfect partner and perfect doctor would eventually ease the haunting guilt she feels over her sister’s death—and the role no one knows she played in it. But still, years later, the grief is too much to bear.
Now, Dylan must find the courage to face her past and define her own happiness if she truly wants to live the life her sister never could.

Her indecision over Cooper's proposal threatens their relationship, as do her workaholic tendencies, which always caused strain between them.
