LILY CALLOWAY IS ABOUT TO FACE ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES OF HER LIFE: STAYING CELIBATE FOR NINETY DAYS.

As Loren Hale works on kicking his alcohol addiction, Lily worries this new chapter might mean he no longer desires her. After all, she still struggles with compulsive sexuality, and the temptation only grows as she stays committed to him.

Lily is determined to keep their relationship strong, but reconnecting with her family—still unaware of her addiction—brings its own set of challenges. Loren and Lily need to find a way to rekindle their connection, but abstaining from sex proves to be one of her toughest battles. Luckily, some loves run deeper than the skin.

Lily Calloway must take on one of life's toughest challenges: remaining celibate for ninety days. While Loren Hale recovers from alcoholism, Lily fears that this shift might make him lose interest in her. Her compulsive sexual behavior still has a strong grip on her, and staying true to him only heightens her fantasies.
