Slow Burn

Florence Kennedy doesn't want a position at her father's publishing company. She's not ready to be CEO. It's not a part of her life plans. She'd rather attend orchestras, dance in the city, and read books in her garden. She wants to create her own path, not go down the one her parents carved for her. She wants adventure, danger, and an escape from the gated community she's never left.

She's desperate to get away. So, during her parent's masquerade ball, when she meets a stranger in the garden, she sees an opportunity.

Atticus Finch is a man who gets what he wants. He doesn't shy away from conflict, and he'll speak what's on his mind because no one will stop him. He's fully aware of his reputation. Atticus Finch is a man who doesn't fold, but the man he hates has a daughter, and that blue-eyed beauty will bring him to his knees every time.

So, what happens when Florence asks him to help her escape? Will her parents find out about her relationship with the man who's determined to rip their family apart? Or will Florence realize her parents kept her in a gated community to hide her away from men like Atticus?

Is she just a kid desperate to piss off her parents or is she ready to break free from generational curses? Step into her gated community and find out because she's quick to learn love might not conquer all.
