Arabella Vale is all sunshine and optimism, a whirlwind of laughter, late-night coffee runs, and relentless charm-but beneath her radiant exterior, she carries secrets she can't let anyone see. Julian Cross, intimidating and notoriously grumpy, thrives on silence, solitude, and a carefully controlled life...until Arabella decides he's her personal project.
Determined to crack Julian's icy exterior, Arabella fills his days with unexpected friendship, irreverent humor, and more sunshine than he ever knew he needed. But the closer they grow, the harder it becomes for Arabella to hide the shadows in her own past. Can she bring warmth to Julian's world without letting her past unravel everything she's fought to create?
In this enemies-to-allies-to-something-more academic romance, laughter, longing, and the tension of untold truths collide-and nothing will stay hidden forever.
