Aurora Moreau has loved Elias Hart since she was sixteen. Quietly, Hopelessly And entirely on her own.
To Elias, she was always Rory. His best friend's younger sister. The girl who stole his hoodies, interrupted late-night coding sessions, and somehow always knew when he needed coffee before he did.
He noticed her. He cared About Her. He just never saw her the way she saw him.
So at 18, Aurora left. No goodbye. No explanation. No intention to come back.
Three years later, Aurora returns with a computer science degree, a carefully guarded secret, and enough unanswered questions to make staying away impossible.
Unfortunately, the one place that might hold those answers is HavenTech. Elias Hart's company.
Now twenty-one, Aurora is no longer the girl Elias remembers. She's sharper. More guarded. Brilliant behind screen. And hiding far more than anyone realizes. Especially Elias.
At twenty-seven, Elias has built HavenTech into the kind of company people fight to work for. Controlled. Brilliant. Impossible to read. Except around Aurora.
Because the longer she works beside him, the harder it becomes for Elias to ignore the woman standing where his best friend's little sister used to be.
Late-night coding sessions become conversations neither wants to end. Old jokes begin feeling different.
His hoodie find their way back to her.
And somewhere between what they remember and everything they never said, Elias begins looking at her in a way he never did before.
But Aurora Didn't just come home only for him.
Someone knows what she spent three years searching for. Someone knows why she left.
And when messages from an unknown number begin warning her to stop digging into a past connected to both their families, Aurora is forced to confront an impossible question.
What happens when the man you've loved for years belongs to the very world you've learned not to trust?
Because Aurora Fell First. But Elias?
