Elusive Embrace by Dani Elias

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Sometime it is just darkness that waits for you.

At forty-one, finding myself divorced from the love of my life was not on the agenda. It would be much simpler if I didn’t keep bumping into Matt, but Fellside is a small town. What’s even worse than crossing paths with him is doing it with my new boyfriend in tow. It irks me when Matt tries to convince me that my new guy is wrong for me, but I’m slowly starting to wonder if he might have a point.

Matt
Divorce? Wasn’t my idea. She wanted an out, and all I could do was give it to her. Doesn’t mean I stopped loving her. Somewhere in the back of my mind, there’s always this hope she might come back. That is, until I spot her with her date; it’s clear as day that this guy isn’t good enough for her. How do I make her see sense and, just maybe, give us another shot?

This steamy romance is part of a series set in a shared world, but you don’t need to have read the others to enjoy it. Each story stands alone, though you might spot a few familiar faces along the way!
