28 parts Complete MatureNicole Redd has mastered the art of blending into the background. After college heartbreak and one too many reminders that love favors the bold, she's decided invisible is safer. Then a crowded coffee shop, a mislabeled cup, and a pair of devastating blue eyes crash into her carefully curated solitude.
Declan Alvarez wasn't looking for anything beyond steady clients and surviving his best friend's questionable life choices. But the redhead who storms back into his life with an iced latte and a stubborn streak? She's impossible to forget.
When Nicole hires Declan to photograph her restaurant's staff, professional boundaries blur faster than caramel in espresso. As Declan starts to trust again and Nicole dares to imagine something more, fear creeps in dressed as self protection. Because walking away might keep her safe.
But staying could mean risking the one person who makes her feel vividly, terrifyingly alive.
