Finding Grace
When bitterness becomes your comfort zone, can love show you the way out?
Marcus Reid is drowning. At 45, divorced and disillusioned, he's found a community that validates his pain—thousands of men online who agree the dating world is rigged, that average guys like him don't stand a chance, that women are the problem. His TikTok rants about modern dating get hundreds of thousands of views. The algorithm knows exactly what feeds his rage.
But the validation feels hollow. The anger that once felt righteous now feels like a prison.
Then Grace Sullivan spills her coffee on him.
She's everything Marcus thought he couldn't trust—a woman who's been hurt, who's wary, who sees right through the armor he's built. She's also the first person in years who makes him want to be better instead of just bitter.
As Marcus begins therapy and confronts the toxic online spaces that kept him stuck, Grace faces her own demons—an abusive ex-husband who taught her that her needs made her "too emotional," that asking for support meant giving up too easily. Together, they discover that healing isn't about finding someone to complete you. It's about choosing to do the work, even when it's uncomfortable. Even when it's scary.
Finding Grace is a powerful contemporary romance
Breaking free from toxic online echo chambers
Choosing vulnerability over resentment
The difference between performing pain and actually healing from it
Building healthy relationships after surviving toxic ones
What it really means to "do the work"
Perfect for readers who loved Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and The People We Meet on Vacation, this is a story about second chances, chosen family, and the courage it takes to let yourself be loved—scars and all.
Sometimes the path out of darkness begins with a stranger, a spilled coffee, and the willingness to believe you deserve better.
