You just lost through death, the one you loved so much, and wanted to grow old together with. The morning after the funeral you wake up in the bed, by yourself, and the realization hits you. I'm a widow. Or, I'm a widower. Something you never in your worst nightmares thought would happen to you. But now here you are. What now? What becomes of the remainder of your life?
A Steampunk romantaasy adventure novel. A story of new love found after widowhood set in a Steampunk world, with a hint of Victorian Sci-fi, and airship fantasy. This is the story of new love found after loss by widowhood. New love is more than possible following the loss of a long-loved spouse. Sometimes love is sweeter which comes later. This story of two widowed people who find each other their loss takes place in a world, though the same as ours, is otherwise very different. Transportation and technology is different as well as are even clothing styles. It is a world of Steampunk. But the emotions of people, the loves, the losses, the hurts, the heartaches and the joys are the same as ours.

Harris Wimberly is widowed. It has been three years since the loss of Ruth, and the loneliness and the grieving remain. Now he is at an emotional crossroad. For him to remain solo will not bring his wife back. Nor would picking up his life and trying to move forward into new love bring her back.
He would love to find love again. But even the thought of being with another woman feels like committing adultery. And he cannot bear to take on that guilt, all the while knowing that he would be innocent of any wrong against his departed wife. Still, somehow, down inside him, it feels wrong.
Now new friends are encouraging him to consider learning to love again. Perhaps there is hope. But how would he go about meeting someone new? It is a different dating world from the time when he dated Ruth.
Anna Forth is raising her thirteen-year-old son by herself. She is doing her best to balance motherhood and a medical practice. She has no time to find love again. It has been four years since the death of her husband. But that time has not eased the pain of loneliness she feels. Besides, her son needs a father figure in his life.
Well meaning, but misguided friends are telling her that she would be acting selfishly to bring a man into her life now. It would be unfair to her son, they tell her. She should simply focus her energy on raising him. That all sounds right for her son is her priority. But yet... That path offers no cure for her loneliness. Besides, her son does need a father figure in his life. And even at thirteen, her son is keenly aware of his need. And his mum's need.
