Neon nights. Simmering sabotage. Midlife is one spicy meatball.
When a sinister force crashes her mother's custody hearing and Neve realizes she's being watched, she does what any self-respecting midlife mystic would do: clutches her geode, whispers a plea to Mercury retrograde, and jumps.
She lands in 1984, inside Carmen, a single mom waiting tables at an Aura Cove fine-dining hotspot where sabotage simmers and danger is disguised by charm. A slick predator controls the restaurant, and a brilliant, neurodivergent chef is trapped under his thumb.
To set things right, Neve must topple a toxic power structure, protect the one who's stolen her heart, and help Chef Enzo Bellini reclaim his voice. But meddling with the past has a price, and Neve's clock is ticking.
Heartfelt, funny, and fiercely hopeful, Never Alone is a spellbinding blend of time-travel magic, found family, and second chances with a neurodivergent heroine who refuses to back down, no matter what the past throws her way.
