-KRISTAN HIGGINS, New York Times, USA TODAY, Publisher's Weekly bestselling author
Can love blossom after life changes in an instant?
One July morning in Manhattan, athlete and entrepreneur Phoenix Walker accompanies the woman he is falling for to her flight. Half-Asian beauty Orchid Paige is beginning to blossom into his partner in every way that matters.
Neither believes today will be goodbye.
But after she leaves, disaster strikes. Phoenix wakes in a hospital bed, his body broken and his future forever changed. As he struggles through recovery, his thoughts return to Orchid. But he knows the shadows in her past, the tragedy that makes her panic at the sight of trauma.
Now he faces the hardest decision of his life. Should he fight to keep the woman he loves, risking re-traumatizing her, or should he walk away without explaining why? The choice feels impossible, and yet true love may mean breaking his own heart.
Rising from ashes is hard. Giving up the one you love is harder.
Told with the emotional depth of contemporary fiction and the heart of inspirational romance, Goodbye, Orchid is a love story rooted in resilience, sacrifice, and the belief that beauty can grow even from brokenness. Phoenix is a wounded hero, a man whose challenges mirror the courage of combat-injured veterans and whose journey will resonate with readers who value the authenticity found in disability fiction and amputee romance. Orchid's vibrant, multicultural identity adds richness to a connection that feels destined, yet fraught with the challenges of star-crossed lovers learning to trust again.
Their story is one of longing and quiet strength, of choosing love even when the cost is high. For those who believe in the healing power of hope, and in love that protects as fiercely as it holds on, Goodbye, Orchid offers an unforgettable journey.
