Rowan lives by a strict set of rules: Study hard, keep her head down, and never-ever-let someone in.
She's a pro at building walls, but it only took one night of blurred lines and a reckless kiss with a supposed stranger to bring them crashing down. It was supposed to be a one-time lapse in judgment. A secret left behind in the dark.
But the stranger isn't staying in the past. She's sitting at Rowan's Sunday lunches. She's the ghost in every room. She is the only person who challenges Rowan to figure out what she actually wants. But in a family built on loyalty, wanting her might be the one fight Rowan is destined to lose.

What She Needs
Two things survived the wreckage of six years ago: Rowan's scars, and Dani's guilt. Now a successful computer scientist, Rowan has engineered her life like a flawless piece of code. Her heart is a locked vault, and her bedroom is a revolving door of random women governed by a strict rules. It's the perfect system to ensure no one ever gets close enough to see the words she once carved into her own skin. Dani, now holding a PhD in psychology, understands defense mechanisms better than anyone. But all her clinical knowledge hasn't helped her forget the brilliant, chaotic girl she broke-and loved-in equal measure. They haven't spoken since the hospital. Rowan thinks Dani walked away forever. Dani has no idea Rowan was never told about her tearful bedside visits. But when their best friends get engaged, the universe forces a reunion. As Best Woman and Maid of Honor, they are trapped in the same room, tasked with planning the perfect wedding. Dani is trained to read people, and she sees right through Rowan's arrogant, detached player facade. Rowan is determined to stay cold, but the old, violent pull between them is mutating into something unstoppable. To give their friends a future, they are going to have to finally dismantle the past-one rule, one secret, and one scar at a time. (Note: this is a sequel to my story "What She Wants".)

The last thing Emryn knew, she went running to Juilliard. Mallorie Rivers was done with Eddie Shaffer's shit. Period. And him not showing up, yet again, for their gig, was her final straw.

Gambling It All
This is a mature girlxgirl story. I would highly recommend reading I Hate You & Oh, My, Addison first, however this can be read as a standalone novel.

Five luxurious days to bond with her friends after years and potentially make some wrong decisions along the way.
