Forty-Nine - Based On A True Story
Madeleine Bauer is forty-nine years old, and she has never once had a kitchen table that belonged only to her. Four months after leaving a marriage built on a version of herself she didn't choose, she joins a gym in Chicago simply to have somewhere to put her body — and stops cold on the stairs the first time she sees Natalia Wolff walk into a room like she owns every inch of it.
What follows is a year of letters — to her sister, to Natalia's closest friend, and eventually just between the two of them — as a forty-nine-year-old woman finds out, for the first time in her life, what her own wanting actually feels like. It's tender and it's sensual and it's also genuinely frightening in places, because the life Madeleine left behind isn't done with her yet.
Slow-burn, emotionally raw, sensual romance — for readers who want a love story with real stakes, not just heat.
