Sex and the Widow Miles — Nan Reinhardt

His life ended. Hers didn't. Spirited, beautiful, and aging gracefully, Julie Miles was looking forward to retirement with her husband, Dr. Charlie Miles, in their idyllic Willow Bay, Michigan home. But when Charlie dies of a heart attack, simply getting out of bed becomes a daily struggle. Desperate for a change of scene, she leaves her home to stay in her friend Carrie's unoccupied Chicago apartment. Her handsome and younger new neighbor, Will Brody, seems to enjoy his assignment to keep an eye on her, and Jules can't help but be flattered. She embraces life -- and sex -- again, until the discovery of a dark secret shatters her world once more. She knows her feelings for Will are more than casual, and he's made it clear he wants her, but how can she ever trust a man again when her perfect life turned out to be a lie? Determined to get to the bottom of it all, Jules goes in search of the truth and discovers that there's always a second chance to find real love.
