Heart Failure

Summary

An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance about daring to open your heart. Dr. Jess Riley's life is perfect, ticking all the boxes - successful cardiologist, newborn daughter, and a luxurious condo. That is, until she suddenly collapses from acute heart failure. Her entire world crumples along with her exhausted body. Jess is forced to face facts - she can't keep working endless hours, and she'll have to move back home to recover. To her shock, her mother has already taken in Lena Walker, a struggling artist who isn't a stranger to heartbreak either. At first, an unimpressed Jess resents Lena's cheerful presence. Gradually, though, the two women form a tentative friendship over tai chi, picking fruit, and evening walks with the baby. A sexy massage leads to friends-with-benefits fun. But is it all too soon? Should two barely mended souls try to risk a future together? Contains mature themes.
