if the eyes had no tears

"Expectation is the enemy of happiness."

Divorced Boston physician, Dana Madison, rebuilds her life-balancing work, motherhood, and fear of intimacy-until an unexpected neighbor, Jack Duncan, a lawyer with a surprising secret, offers a second chance at love. But her best friend's cancer diagnosis, her daughter's mental health crisis, and Jack's mysterious disappearance test trust, commitment, and whether Dana can rearrange her life for love.

Sweeping Boston's medical community, Plum Island's beaches, Ireland, and the Montana wilderness, if the eyes had no tears-where women's fiction and steamy contemporary romance collide-is an emotional mid-life self-reckoning filled with passion, resilience, the slow, steady work of trust-and second chance love. A story that reminds us that second chances aren't just for fairy tales-they're for anyone brave enough to embrace them.
