A Love Letter to Letting Go

Happy Forgive an Ex Day! 😉

Tomorrow, October 17, is Forgive an Ex Day, which sounds simple—until you actually try it.

Forgiveness isn’t pretending the hurt never happened. It’s not rewriting history, or giving someone another chance to break your heart. Forgiveness is choosing freedom over bitterness. It’s unclenching your hands so something new can grow there.

That’s exactly where When Ivy Met Adam begins.

Ivy Gardiner, a human rights lawyer with a bruised heart, thinks she’s finally found her perfect match. But when she learns the man she’s falling for once played a hidden role in her heartbreak, she has to decide whether forgiveness can make space for love—or if it’s just another way to get burned.

Adam Lopez knows he doesn’t deserve a second chance. But he’s willing to earn it.

Based on the biblical story of Eve, When Ivy Met Adam is a heartwarming, steamy, queer contemporary romance about love, truth, and second chances. Told from dual POVs, it’s perfect for anyone who believes that forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s the bravest kind of love.

So today, on Forgive an Ex Day, maybe don’t text your ex (really, don’t). But do pick up a story that reminds you what forgiveness can make possible.

What second-chance romance have you read (and loved) lately?
