Vicki Meyers thought she needed to disappear. Instead she found herself.
After escaping a relationship that slowly hollowed her out, Vicki Meyers moves to Montreal with one goal: disappear. No phone. No connections. No risk of being found–or of losing herself again.
Then she fosters Gunner, a dog so traumatized he can barely leave his kennel. Caring for him forces Vicki to move slowly, stay present, and face the parts of herself she's spent years protecting. As Gunner begins to trust the world again, so does she.
When Vicki meets Daniel–kind, recently divorced, and leaving for Hong Kong in six weeks–she surprises herself by saying yes. To dinner. To honesty. To something real. Knowing he's leaving makes it safe to let him in. For the first time, she doesn't have to perform or prove her worth. She can simply be herself.
But six weeks isn't long. And before Daniel goes, Vicki will have to decide what stays: the walls she built to survive, or the woman she's becoming without them.
Set in the early 2000s, Six Weeks With You is a story about finding yourself in unexpected places: in a wounded dog who teaches you patience, in a temporary love that shows you what you deserve, and in the quiet realization that you were never as broken as you believed.
