On the Edge of After ~ By Britt Wolfe
Coming July 1st
Merritt is forty-one, widowed, and barely holding together the pieces of a life that used to make sense. Her days are measured in careful routines and quiet grief—until she quite literally falls at the feet of Norland’s most captivating politician.
Beau Laurent is the country’s Minister of Finance, a divorced father of three, and a man used to attention—but not like this. Not from her. With deep blue eyes that make everyone feel like they’re the only person in the room and a calm that steadies everything around him, Beau offers Merritt his hand—and maybe something more.
What begins with a fall becomes a slow, aching unraveling. Of memories. Of grief. Of everything Merritt thought she had to survive alone. But falling for someone new means confronting everything she hasn’t let go of—and learning to believe in something softer than survival.
Set against the snowy streets of Arbourleigh and the stormy backdrop of political tension, On the Edge of After is a sweeping, second-chance love story about the weight of memory, the quiet rebellion of vulnerability, and what happens when two people brave enough to love again finally collide.

Excerpt from On the Edge of After By Britt Wolfe
She turned to face him, heart pounding. Their eyes met, and the air between them pulled tight. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. The hunger in his gaze said everything.
Slowly, she nodded, lips parting as her hands reached for the buttons of his shirt. She worked through them one by one, her fingers brushing warm skin with every undone inch. He stood perfectly still, watching her as if her touch was undoing him from the inside out.
Without a word, he took her hand and led her into the bathroom. The lights were dim, the marble glowing with soft reflections from the city outside. He turned on the shower, and the sudden sound of rushing water seemed to deepen the quiet around them.
When he turned back, he said nothing—just reached for her.
His fingers found the zipper at her back, slow and deliberate as he eased it down. The fabric slipped from her shoulders in a whisper, then pooled at her feet. She stood still, breath caught, bare in the amber glow of the city lights, the curve of her collarbone rising and falling with every heartbeat.
His eyes darkened, swept over her like flame over silk.
He stepped in close, his hands tracing the slope of her shoulders, gliding down her arms. His touch was featherlight, reverent—like he didn’t know whether to worship her or fall apart at her feet.
Her hands moved to his chest, pushing the shirt from his frame, fingers exploring the lean strength beneath. When she dragged her palms down his stomach, the muscles there tensed under her touch. His lips found hers—hungry, open, claiming. She kissed him back with everything she had, her body already trembling with the need she’d tried so hard to keep buried.
