Description
Since the day she married her husband, Lo Harper has watched her happy ever after slip away before her eyes. Feeling lost and alone, she’s stumbling through life, each day getting longer, harder, and more hopeless. She doesn’t know how much longer she can hold on. Until she meets a stranger who ironically becomes a lifeline after he nearly runs her down. He’s charming, kind, and he doesn’t pry. He’s just there, making Lo smile, distracting her, if only briefly. Because she will always return to the pain. To the heartbreak. To the unshakable guilt.
Luke Williamson is successful, content, and he keeps his relationships with women uncomplicated. But his simple, carefree life is turned up on its head the night a young woman walks out in front of his car. Drawn to each other for very different reasons, Lo and Luke forge an unlikely friendship that they both come to rely on. And yet while Luke shares his life with Lo, he knows she’s keeping hers from him. And as her truth unfolds, Luke slowly realizes that for Lo to have her happy ever after, he has to sacrifice his own.
So he must make the ultimate decision.
Keep Lo in his life as she is, a broken, shadow of a woman.
Or walk away and let her heal.

So disappointed
1By aridanetAn agonizing read. I skipped more pages than I read. Did you really write This Man et al.?Worth the read
5By Mantell1This book was a different take on life and love. I throughly enjoyed every page. Describing the depth of love to my husband brought me to tears. One word, phenomenal!!Heart Wrenching
5By CalvinMarie2330Such a beautiful love story but also such a sad story. I am sure many people can relate to having to take care of someone you love and watching them die before your eyes. This book gives you hope once you lose someone you love.This story left me… Speechless. Breathless. Heartbroken.
5By Crystal's Book WorldI envied Lo and Billy. That first love. That kind of love that has the dream of what is to come. Until in a blink of an eye it gets ripped away. For You was beautifully written. You go through the emotions Lo goes through. Day in and day out. The heartache feels real. Tears were rolling down my cheeks as I read each chapter. Luke broke my heart even more - which I did not think could be possible. He comes into Lo’s life at the moment she loses her hope. Her will. You tread through their journey of friendship and then get hit by reality of what Lo has to deal with. This story is truly about love and surviving. For You was a book I refused to put down. It is a story that will make you drunk on emotions and will bleed through your soul. #2023BookRecTissue Please
5By Army Spouse😭💗 First of all, thank you JEM for this surprising book!!! As always, it is fantastic!❤️ This book, For You, had me riveted, could not put it down. Lo has tough choices, made tough but loving decisions. Her heart loves Billy and then comes along Luke. No spoilers but I will write this. The circumstances surrounding Billy is heartbreaking and the life Lo leads is gut wrenching. Her reprieve comes in an odd way. This book had me in tears, and I felt the story to my core. This is a love story, beautifully written. This story is worth reading.
