À 25 ans, Emma Blair a épousé son petit ami du lycée, Jesse. Le couple s’est construit une vie bien loin des attentes de leurs parents et des habitants de leur petite ville natale du Massachusetts.

Ensemble, ils ont parcouru le monde, saisissant toutes les occasions de partir à l’aventure. Mais le jour de leur premier anniversaire de mariage, tout a basculé lorsque Jesse a disparu au cours d’un tragique accident d’hélicoptère au-dessus du Pacifique. Bouleversée, Emma a quitté son emploi et est retournée près de ses parents pour tenter de se reconstruire.

Des années plus tard, Emma est retombée amoureuse. Alors qu’elle vient d’accepter la demande de mariage de Sam, elle entrevoit enfin la possibilité d’être à nouveau heureuse. Mais sa vie va basculer une seconde fois : Jesse est vivant. Emma va devoir choisir entre le premier amour et le nouvel amour de sa vie.

From the author of Maybe in Another Life—named a People Magazine pick and a "Best Book of the Summer" by Glamour and USA TODAY—comes a breathtaking new love story about a woman unexpectedly forced to choose between the husband she has long thought dead and the fiancé who has finally brought her back to life.

In her twenties, Emma Blair marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse. They build a life for themselves, far away from the expectations of their parents and the people of their hometown in Massachusetts. They travel the world together, living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for adventure.

On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on a helicopter over the Pacific when it goes missing. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever.

Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together. Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again. When Emma and Sam get engaged, it feels like Emma’s second chance at happiness.

That is, until Jesse is found. He’s alive, and he’s been trying all these years to come home to her. With a husband and a fiancé, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants, while trying to protect the ones she loves.

Who is her one true love? What does it mean to love truly?

Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She’s just not sure what it’s saying.
