Two years after burying his wife, he still talked to her.
Daniel never expected anyone to answer.
For two years, the only person who truly understood his grief was Claire.
His late wife's best friend.
Together they survived hospital visits, anniversaries, impossible birthdays, and the quiet ache of learning how to live without the woman they both loved.
Friendship was safe.
Necessary.
Until it wasn't.
As shared grief slowly becomes something neither of them can deny, Daniel finds himself facing an impossible question.
Can falling in love with the woman who misses his wife just as much as he does ever be anything but a betrayal?
Or is love the one thing that was never meant to end?
Some promises survive death.
Others begin because of it.
After My Wife Was Gone is an emotional contemporary romance about grief, healing, second chances, and discovering that loving again doesn't mean loving before any less.
