Until the Last Light. Between Us, #10

Sometimes the most beautiful stories are written at the end. When Claire, a compassionate hospice volunteer, walks through the quiet doors of a small care home, she never expects her life to change forever. Her days are spent offering comfort to patients during their final journeys, but meeting Ethan Hale-a terminally ill author whose words once touched millions-awakens something she thought she had lost: the courage to truly live.
Ethan, confined to a bed yet still carrying the spark of a storyteller, has long accepted that his last spring will be spent in quiet reflection. But Claire's warmth and quiet strength stir memories of joy he thought had vanished forever. As their bond deepens, friendship turns to love, and together they rediscover hope in the face of loss, laughter in fleeting days, and the power of human connection that transcends time.
Yet with each passing day, the reality of Ethan's condition looms closer. Every shared sunrise, every heartfelt confession, and every moment of vulnerability becomes a treasure they both know will not last. As Claire helps Ethan finish his final story, she learns that some loves are destined not to last forever-but to leave a legacy that never fades. Until the Last Light is a tear-jerker love story about finding joy and meaning in the most unlikely place.
Perfect for fans of bittersweet romance, literary emotional fiction, and unforgettable tales of grief, healing, and love beyond death, this end-of-life companionship romance reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there can still be light.
