Everything After Us: A Novella

De: Avery Lennox

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A heart-healing small-town romance about second chances, quiet courage, and the love that comes after loss.

When a winter storm sweeps through Maplebridge, it leaves behind more than snowdrifts—it uncovers the possibility of something new.

Ben McKinley has built a life on silence. A widowed teacher devoted to his daughter and his classroom, he’s mastered the art of going through the motions. But when the local café owner asks for help preparing the town’s Winter Showcase, the quiet widower finds himself drawn to warmth he thought he’d never feel again.

Hannah Cole left Boston searching for peace, not love. Running a small café in her hometown should have been simple—until a burst pipe, a fundraiser, and a certain music teacher remind her that home isn’t always a place. Sometimes it’s a person.

As snow falls and the town gathers close, their connection grows—soft laughter, late-night confessions, a kiss lit by candlelight. But healing is never simple. When Hannah’s past offers her everything she thought she wanted, and Ben’s grief threatens to pull him under, both must decide: will they keep running from the past, or learn to build everything after?

Set against a backdrop of cozy cafés, community charm, and the gentle hum of music returning, Everything After Us is a deeply emotional romance about love that doesn’t erase what came before—it carries it differently.
