After losing her family, career, and freedom to addiction, a woman begins to heal through a powerful new romance-but must confront the darkest parts of herself to truly move forward. This is a raw, unflinching story of collapse and resilience-a journey through shame, desire, and the fragile hope that healing is still possible. Now she's fighting for a second chance at life, love, and herself. Dr. Eldo Frezza is a surgeon and storyteller who came to the United States from Venice, Italy, in 1992 to pursue a career in medicine. His passion for writing has led to a wide-ranging body of work spanning both fiction and non-fiction. He is the author of the magical realism novel Chasing Hemingway: Between the Sea and the Story, the haunting The Death of Venice, and the evocative Drowned on Fire. Dr. Frezza is also the creator of the acclaimed Twisted Needle crime series, featuring Dr. John Savino-America's first fictional physician and FBI medical detective. With a unique blend of medical expertise and riveting storytelling, he delivers authenticity, depth, and emotional resonance on every page. In this latest work, Dr. Frezza explores the journey of a woman who loses everything to addiction-only to discover that healing, love, and redemption are still possible. A story of second chances, unbreakable hope, and the healing power of love.
