She Was Never Ready for Gentle Love (Completed)

Lyra Ashford knows one thing about love:
If it doesn't hurt, it isn't real.
As a Creative Director in Manhattan, she can command multi-million-dollar brands with a single presentation-
but she has never been able to command her own heart.
Callum Reed is different.
A therapist with too much patience.
A man who doesn't get jealous.
A man who never answers anger with anger.
A man who stays.
And that is exactly why Lyra wants to run.
Because what if gentle love isn't a gift-
but a test she was never taught how to pass?
When a past filled with fire comes roaring back into her life, Lyra is forced to choose:
Return to the kind of love that makes her feel gloriously, destructively alive-
or hold on to the man who might be too gentle for a brutal world.
But there is one thing she doesn't realize.
Gentle love does not mean it cannot leave.
And when Callum finally stops chasing her-
Lyra may already be too late to learn how to love without destroying everything in her path.
