Aria Monroe wasn't looking for love-especially not with the woman she hired to care for her son. But Lena Hart isn't easy to ignore. She's warm where Aria is guarded, soft where Aria is sharp... and somehow, without meaning to, Lena becomes the only person Aria can't stop wanting. Their chemistry crackles from the start. A lingering touch in the kitchen. A glance held too long. A closeness neither of them can name without risking everything. But Lena's past is a locked door, and every time Aria gets close enough to open it, Lena pulls away with a fear that tastes a lot like guilt. The more they fall, the more dangerous the silence becomes-until one night, it shatters everything. Now Aria must decide whether love is worth chasing a woman who's been running her whole life...and Lena must choose whether Aria is worth finally staying for.
