Rosetta Garcia grew up surrounded by the loud chaos of her big Italian family, yet somehow she had always felt alone. Quiet and guarded, Rose never found it easy to let people in, and over time, she stopped trying altogether.
That was until Adam Davis walked into her life.
Adam wanted nothing from her-no games, no expectations, just her friendship. But the closer they become, the harder it is for Rose to ignore the feelings growing between them. Feelings that could change everything.
Now Rose must decide: is she willing to risk opening her heart to Adam, knowing their connection may become something far more than friendship? Or will fear keep her from the one person who truly sees her?
