CLOSER WITH EVERY STEP: EVENING WALKS THAT BROUGHT THEM CLOSER THAN EVER by Lora Shin

Two women. One shared ritual. A connection that was never meant to become this deep.

After years of quiet loneliness following her husband’s death, Elena suggests something simple to her stepdaughter Bella: evening walks to lose weight and reclaim their strength. What begins as practical companionship quickly deepens into something far more intimate. As miles pass beneath their feet, confidences are shared, bodies grow stronger, and the careful distance between them begins to dissolve.

What starts as support turns into longing. What feels like healing becomes desire. And what should have remained forbidden slowly becomes inevitable.

Closer With Every Step is a slow-burn, emotionally charged erotic romance about grief, self-discovery, and the dangerous, beautiful pull of a love that was never supposed to exist.

Warnings: Contains explicit sexual content, taboo/step-relationship themes, and discussions of grief and body image.
