A girl who learned to hold herself together.
A man who makes it feel safe to fall apart.
Zara Lavigne was done with love after her last relationship left her quiet, careful, and convinced that softness was a weakness. Matteo Vale is steady in a way she's never known - patient, warm, and impossibly hard to hide from. He doesn't ask her to change. He just shows her what it feels like to be treated gently.
But letting someone in is the one thing she promised she'd never do again.
So what happens when she realises she wants to?

"I didn't know love could feel like this," she whispered.
Matteo pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
"Like what?"
"Gentle.""
