 A heartfelt thank you to @BookSparks and @patricaleavy for the #gifted book!  

Tess, a successful novelist, and Jack, a federal agent, meet and experience an immediate and profound connection. Despite the wounds of their past that have led them to isolate themselves from love, they embark on a transformative love story.  They slowly begin to embrace the power of unconditional love and its ability to heal.

This poignant tale deftly navigates the complexities of grief, loss, and trauma. The characters bravely reveal their vulnerabilities, openly expressing their willingness to trust in love. Tess and Jack's friends add layers of levity, compassion, and unwavering support, enriching their journey.

The powerful line, “I’ve never seen anyone whose outsides match my insides,” resonates deeply, capturing the essence of their unique bond.

This heartwarming narrative offers a rich exploration of love, loss, and friendship, showcasing the resilience required to navigate life’s greatest challenges.

This is the first book in A Celestial Bodies Romance series, which will be available on March 18, 2025.
