Everything that Remains
(2026)(The ninth book in the Different Kind of Love series)
A novel by Liz Durano
Two guarded pasts. One high-desert sanctuary. A love neither saw coming.
Amelie Gaskell has spent ten years rebuilding her life from scratch. After her ex-husband’s financial fraud destroyed her world, the 49-year-old horticulturist wears her maiden name like armor and relies on no one. So when she inherits her late aunt’s 400-acre estate in Taos, New Mexico—along with a life-changing buyout offer from a luxury developer—she sees her ultimate clean slate.
There’s just one problem sitting on the other side of the fence line.
Daniel Drexel, a former Manhattan hedge fund titan turned quiet mesa caretaker, isn't about to let the land be carved up. Bound by a promise to Amelie’s aunt to preserve the high-desert corridor where wild horses roam, Daniel is determined to stop the sale.
When unexpected complications threaten Amelie's inheritance, she and Daniel are forced into an uneasy alliance. As the clock ticks down on the developer's deadline, the friction between them sparks an undeniable heat. But while Daniel’s instinct is to step in and fix things, Amelie is fiercely determined to protect her own future on her own terms.
Bound by the land and driven by an impossible choice, two self-reliant strangers must navigate the fine line between control and surrender—discovering that the hardest thing to reclaim isn't a piece of land, but the courage to trust again.
Everything That Remainsis an emotional, later-in-life contemporary romance featuring a strong-willed heroine, a protective hero, rich small-town New Mexico atmosphere, and a deeply satisfying happily-ever-after. It is the emotional finale of the A Different Kind of Love series.
Genre: Romance
