Cherry Waites came to remote Whispering Pines island to heal after her husband's humiliating affair—but she didn't plan on juggling a new life, a tiny schoolhouse, and the island's grumpiest man. Oh, and the local dating pool? Let's just say it's...challenging.
Matteo Capen has three dogs, zero patience for humans, and an impressive talent for avoiding cheerfully persistent teachers. Years of panic attacks and isolation have convinced him that staying alone is safest—until Cherry's stubborn optimism and refusal to give up start to unravel his carefully constructed solitude.
Between accidental encounters, canine chaos, and a winter that keeps them trapped on the same tiny island, sparks fly where neither expects them. It turns out starting over isn't so lonely when someone (and three dogs) insist on sticking around.
No Longer Yours is a heartfelt slow-burn romantic dramedy full of sharp banter, emotional honesty, and two beautifully messy people learning how to start over.
