The Trip

I didn't think I'd ever return to this town. We weren't together long, but I loved my wife deeply. Brooke meant the world to me and in her dying days, I married her. It's been a year since I lost her and I haven't been quite the same. It feels like my life has been put on hold and I'm not sure how to get it back on track. But apparently, Brooke believed she knew how to help me through my grief. On the anniversary of her death, a stranger shows up at my door claiming to be Brooke's old best friend. Danielle claims Brooke left her a series of letters telling her to invite me on a road trip to commemorate her death. But it feels all wrong. Danielle seems nice enough, but this is the last thing I want to do a year after the loss of my wife. But if it was Brooke's dying wish, I have to fulfill it. This isn't easy for me either. When my old best friend Brooke was dying, I was traveling abroad and had no idea how dire her situation had become. I have a lot of guilt for not being there for her death, even though she gave me no inkling she was dying. So, though it's awkward for me, I feel I have to take Brooke's widow, Natalie, on this road trip with me. I have to do this one last favor for my old friend. Natalie won't make it easy on me though. It's clear she has no interest in this. But I can't give up, I have to take her on this trip for Brooke's sake. So, who knows, maybe we will find ourselves somewhere along the way. And I hope I can shove down these budding feelings I have for Natalie, because I cannot get involved with the wife of my dead best friend. This is a standalone lesbian romance novel with HEA ending!
