How to Wake a Sleeping Lady (Book 1)
What readers say:
🩵“I loved Nessa, her spunk and her determination.”
🩵“Keep tissues handy throughout this emotionally charged book.” 🩵“Truly a wonderfully entertaining story to occupy a rainy day, or any day!”In one short moment−barely the blink of an eye−Grant’s world was turned upside down.
After three awful years of mourning his wife, of reminding himself that she was lost to him for good, of forcing himself to move on, here she was, alive and well.
And still, he feared he was hallucinating, dreaming, fantasizing. What if he allowed himself to believe only to have her snatched from his grasp?
Gritting his teeth, Grant doubted he would survive suffering her loss a second time. No, before he could allow himself to truly believe that she had returned to him, he needed…he needed to…
His hands tightened on her, feeling the familiar warmth of her body. Her hazel eyes were wide and watchful, dark with confusion. And yet, Grant saw an old spark lurking beneath the surface. A spark that spoke of a strong and daring mind as well as a brave and loving heart. Was this truly his wife? His Nessa?
He skimmed a thumb over her cheek and felt her tremble in his arms as his heart beat wildly in his chest with fear and hope alike. He was not hallucinating, was he? This was not a dream.
Joy claimed Grant’s heart, and the longing of three years came pouring out of him. His gaze dropped lower, and before he knew what he was doing, his head bent down to claim a kiss.
To claim her.
To convince himself that she was truly here.
In his arms.
Alive and well.
“Don’t!”
That one word cut through him like a knife, and Grant froze as she pulled back, fear etched in her eyes. “Please, I don’t even know who you are!”
They found each other once. Now love asks them to begin again. Grant and Agnes Barrett chose each other—freely, fiercely, and with hearts wide open. Then a tragic accident swept Nessa into the sea and out of his life. Grant mourned her as lost. But now, three years later, in a quiet coastal abbey, he finds her alive… and changed.
She lives as Martha, with no memory of him, their life together, or the love that once stitched them close. To her, he’s a stranger. To him, she’s everything.
He hopes love will find her again. She hopes she’ll recognize it when it does. Grant returns not with pressure, but with tenderness. Kind. Steady. Determined to let her choose him again. And Nessa begins to care—first with curiosity, then with longing. But as pieces of her past surface, they bring truths she wasn’t prepared for. Doubts flicker. Identity blurs.
Still, she finds herself wanting him—not out of obligation, but desire. This is not a romance reclaimed. It’s one rewritten in real time, shaped by who she is now. And in choosing Grant again, Nessa takes a leap of faith—not because she remembers what they had, but because she believes in what they might still become.
She loved him once. Now she’ll decide if she can do it again—without a map, without memory, but with hope.
🌹 If you’ve ever stood on the edge of something new and had to trust your own heart—without proof, without guarantees—this story is for you.
