The Collision

Evelyn Hart wins cases the way other people breathe — without noticing. She is thirty-six, brilliant, and systematically disappearing inside the job she built her life around.

Then she steps off a curb in midtown Manhattan on a rainy Tuesday night, and the world ends.

She wakes up in a farmhouse upstate, beside a golden retriever named Maple and a man who kisses her forehead like he has done it a thousand times. He is Ethan Cole — her courtroom rival. Here, he is her husband of nine years. A journalist. Softer than she has ever seen him. The life around her is warm, unhurried, and entirely impossible.

The Collision is a novel about a woman who nearly had to die to understand she had stopped living.
