Tailor Made

After escaping an abusive relationship and burying her old identity alongside her mother, Evelyn Hart is determined to disappear.
Now living under the name Lena Val, she starts over in a quiet town, working at a small boutique. It should have been simple.

Safe. Predictable.

That is until she meets Tailor.

He's charming, handsome, and works at the same store she does, except for one small problem.

He's a mannequin.

or at least that's what she thinks he is, until he ends up in places around the store she can't explain, in poses she doesn't remember leaving him in, and feeling him watch her all day despite not having any eyes to do so.

Evelyn can't deny her attraction to Tailor, but once she starts to explore it, she finds out that there may be attraction from him beneath his cold hard exterior.
