Aurelie Beres awoke in a bed that wasn't hers and to a man's voice she didn't recognize asking her to make breakfast, her memories of the previous evening blurred by alcohol. Just another symptom of her brokenness, of the self-destructive mode she has spiraled into since her best friend, Cat, moved from Wisconsin to Montana.
Dillion Clark can't face running into another memory of his late wife, Corinne. Cancer has ripped her from his perfect life in northern Illinois, yet her essence is everywhere suffocating him, leaving him a fragmented man.
But whether by chance, fate, or a bit of Up North magic, spontaneous combustion ensues when Aurelie and Dillion meet for the first time, while searching for a fresh start. That electric energy grows into what they feel is an eternal flame. But after a summer of romance and the vows of autumn, can their seasons of love withstand the cold harsh winters to come?
Canoodling Always & Forever: Book Three of The Canoodling Series is about surviving the hardest goodbyes. Will Aurelie and Dillion's impulsive relationship survive their grief and the traumatic events they have endured? Is love destiny? Is grief eternal? And can two people with very different and rocky pasts find a way to build a future together?
