Caramel & Steel
About
After thirty-three years of marriage, Marlie Bennett finds herself alone, invisible, and starting over.
At fifty-three, she isn't looking for fairy tales. She's looking for herself.
A new home in New Jersey, an unexpected online match, and a circle of remarkable women who refuse to let her disappear into loneliness become the beginning of a life she never imagined was still waiting for her.
Then she meets Trunk.
Steady. Thoughtful. Faith-filled. A retired psychologist with a voice smooth enough to stop time and a heart scarred by his own past.
What begins as a simple connection grows into something neither expected: a chance to rediscover love, friendship, purpose, and the courage to dream again.
But just when happiness seems within reach, life presents a test neither of them saw coming.
Caramel & Steel is a heartwarming later-in-life romance about second chances, enduring friendships, healing after heartbreak, and discovering that some of the most beautiful chapters begin long after you think your story has been written.
