After Goodbye

[September Editor's pick- 2021]

After taking a nannying job, Grayson never expected to fall for Rosie, the lawyer who employed him. But she's not looking for love, and he's scared to love again. Can they let go of the goodbyes that have hurt them in the past in order to embrace a future together?

****

Grayson had a good life. He was happily married, loved his job as a nurse and maintained great ties with his family. What he didn't expect is that three years later that life would be shattered, with nothing motivating him to wake up in the mornings.

Unemployed and on the brink of homelessness, Grayson's only options are to return to his mother's home, or find a job and maintain it. Grayson opts for the latter.

Rosie Bhatt had her life planned out. She worked hard, built her family and was entering her thirties, excited to see what the future had in store. But soon the struggle of being a single-parent becomes too much as she juggles the life she wants and the life she has. With limited time on her hands, she chooses to employ Grayson as a nanny for her six-year daughter Anni. What she doesn't expect is the realization that someone else understands her pain.

With both Grayson and Rosie suffering from the loss of goodbyes, tensions rise, and the importance of love, life and family is thrust upon them, challenging them to seek what really matters.

Though Goodbyes were their beginning, can a new After become their future?
