Where the Flowers Bloom | D. L. Darby

Newly divorced and still coping with the loss of her mother to cancer, Daphne knows it's time for her to move on with her life and try to meet someone. Or at least find herself a one-night stand since her friends think she needs to get laid. Enter Henry. New to their friend group. Insanely hot. And they have great chemistry. After a steamy night in the pool on her rooftop, they find themselves falling quickly, even though neither of them were looking for a relationship. But Daphne soon finds out that Henry has a secret, and the bubble they created around them bursts, filling Daphne's world with pain once more. When her mother was on her deathbed, she told Daphne that she would use her experience to help someone else with their grief one day. But how do you help someone else when you're not truly over your own?
