The Seventh Minute - Paperback

by Lauren W. Roach (Author), Jared D. Roach (Cover Design by)

Seven minutes. One marriage. A lifetime of moments he never realized mattered.

Izaak Davis has always believed love is measured by the big moments: the wedding day, the birth of a child, and the promises that change everything. But after years of grief, financial strain, and unspoken hurt have pushed his marriage to Kori to the breaking point, he begins to wonder if love alone is enough to bring them back to each other.

Then a devasting car accident leaves Izaak suspended somewhere between life and death, with only seven minutes to make an impossible choice.

Guided through the memories that shaped his life with Kori, Izaak is forced to revisit everything they survived together: the joy that made falling in love easy, the heartbreaking that nearly destroyed them, and the quiet ordinary moments he never knew he would miss. With every memory, he begins to understand that the greatest moments of their love story may not have been the ones he spent years remembering.

They may have been the ones he barely noticed at all.

And before the time is up, Izaak must decide whether the life waiting for him is still worth fighting for.

The Seventh Minute is an emotional second-chance romance about a marriage in crisis, love after loss, grief and healing, and two people finding their way back to each other when life gives them one more chance. Tender, hopeful, and deeply romantic, this closed-door Black romance is for readers who believe happily ever after isn't always the end of the love story. Sometimes, it's the choice to begin again.
