After losing her mother at sixteen, 23-year-old Englishwoman Ottilie "Lottie" Hart traded the foggy moors of home for the bright chaos of New York City, where she now works in a charming little bookstore tucked away in the East Village. Between caring for her fading grandfather and escaping into the pages of steamy romance novels, Lottie's dreams of opening her own romance-only bookstore feel far away-until a certain hockey player crashes into her life.
Luke Carter is a 23-year-old rising star on New York's professional hockey team. Known for his fierce skills on the ice and his sweet devotion to his twin sister, Esme, he's not exactly looking for love-until a trip to the bookstore brings him face to face with the curvy, sharp-witted woman behind the counter.
What begins as a simple recommendation for his sister turns into daily visits, growing flirtation, and undeniable chemistry. When Luke finally asks Lottie on a date, their connection sparks into something neither of them expected-deep, raw, and full of potential. But Luke is hiding a big part of his life, and Lottie's never been able to open up about what she truly wants-especially in the bedroom.
As their relationship heats up, they peel back layers of vulnerability and desire. From skating beneath the Rockefeller lights to steamy nights tangled in sheets, Lottie and Luke begin to rewrite what love and pleasure mean to them. But with Luke's demanding career and Lottie's responsibilities pulling at them, they'll have to fight for the future they both crave.
"Yours, Always" is a swoon-worthy, slow-burn romance filled with heart, heat, found family, and two people learning that true love means being fully seen and fully claimed.
*Formerly His Desire*
"You think you want me, but I don't think you could handle what I would do to you." His stare is relentless.
I smooth my hands down over my nightdress, feeling his words glide across my skin. "I could..."
"I'm not sure I would be the kind, gentle lover your sweet Caspian would be," he warns quietly.
