Out of Time

An uplifting reminder that one may find love at any age.
— Kirkus Reviews

Life has a time limit. Love doesn’t.

What if your greatest love story was just beginning at 78?

Maddie Cole has spent seven decades proving that breaking the rules pays off. A trailblazing engineer who chose career over convention, she's never regretted trading romance for professional triumph... until now.

When a family weekend in Bar Harbor extends unexpectedly, Maddie finds herself alone at the Hope Point Lighthouse B&B with Nate Jacobs—an 80-year-old widower who's lived his entire life by the book. Everything about him should clash with her rebellious spirit. Instead, their breakfast conversations and moonlit walks awaken something she thought she'd left behind forever.

But as their connection deepens, both must confront a startling truth: they've been crossing paths for decades without ever truly meeting. Now, with limited time ahead and unlimited possibility between them, they face the ultimate question:

Is this the perfect time in their lives to meet—or are they out of time to realize the full potential of their relationship?
