Spencer Reid wasn't planning to attend a book signing - but when a friend drags him to meet a charming debut author whose novels he secretly loves, he doesn't expect to completely lose his train of thought (or his heart). She's witty, loves coffee more than sleep, and has no idea who he is outside of being "the cute guy in the cardigan." He's awkward, brilliant, and unknowingly becoming her next muse. What starts as casual run-ins at bookstores and cozy conversations over tea slowly turns into something neither of them wrote into their life plans. But sometimes the best love stories are the ones you never see coming.

Lilith Hawthorne is a 20 year old psychology student with a complicated heart and more issues than she likes to admit. She feels too much, thinks too hard, and often drowns in the weight of her own empathy. She's curious, emotionally intense, and carries unresolved wounds especially the kind only a mother can leave behind. Valentina Salvatore is a 30 year old CEO. She works hard to build her career and keep things running smoothly. At the same time, she loves deeply but carefully, making sure her feelings go to the right person. She has learned to protect her heart and waits for someone who matches the way she feels. Where Lilith is full of feelings and unpredictability, Valentina has her life sorted out. They come from different worlds and have different ways of living, but what if that's exactly why they fit?
