After one devastating heartbreak, Eliora Handson retires from being a lovergirl.
She has rules now. Rules that keep her focused, successful, and emotionally unavailable.
Then her academic rival, Fred Avery, becomes her research partner.
Unfortunately, Fred is funny, infuriatingly perceptive, and seems determined to challenge every rule she's ever written.
As old wounds resurface and new feelings emerge, Eliora must decide whether protecting her heart is worth the cost of never letting anyone in.
A slow-burn rivals-to-lovers romance about faith, healing, and learning that healthy love shouldn't make you smaller-it should help you become yourself.
