Nola Creed is a dangerous woman-at least, that's what everyone says.
Eight years in prison will do that to your name, especially when you're locked up for murdering your secret lover's husband. She thought she was saving the woman she loved from an abusive man; instead, she ended up behind bars while her lover moved on, remarried, and built a new life without her.
Nola didn't come out of prison the same person she went in as.
Inside, she became someone people didn't cross. Someone people followed. Someone they whispered about-"The Creed."
On the outside, she only wants one thing: to lie low, rebuild, and figure out where her life goes next. That starts with finding a place to stay.
That's how she ends up on the doorstep of Juniper Stratford.
Juniper is twenty-two, juggling school, work, and motherhood. She had her daughter, Mae, at fifteen-one night, one mistake, one tiny miracle she's never regretted. Now she's studying to become a kindergarten teacher, working as an assistant during the day, and barely keeping up with rent on the apartment her grandmother left her. Desperation leads her to post an online ad for a roommate, hoping someone decent will respond.
What she gets is Nola Creed-intimidatingly tall, sharply handsome, her quiet, masculine confidence making Juniper's knees go weak before she even realizes it.
Two women from opposite worlds.
One with a past stained in blood.
One fighting for a future full of hope.
Only time will tell what they become to each other.
