Hi Everyone! New story for you. Here's the blurb:
Lexi Anderson built her life the way she builds her gowns: with precision, intention, and no room for loose threads. As the owner of a thriving luxury boutique with Paris on the horizon, she has everything she worked for and no intention of risking it.
Then Marco Campisi walks back through her door.
A fire lieutenant with steady hands and a patience that borders on dangerous, Marco has wanted Lexi for longer than either of them will admit. When a routine inspection brings him back into her world, the years between them collapse in a single afternoon, and neither of them is ready for what that means.
What follows is a slow burn built from stolen Thursday evenings, midnight phone calls, and the kind of small deliberate gestures that matter more than declarations ever could. He fixes her wiring without being asked. She leaves space in her sketchbook for feelings she hasn't named yet. They are careful with each other in the way people are careful with things they cannot afford to lose.
But Lexi's career is on the edge of everything she has been working toward. Marco carries wounds from a past that taught him women like her eventually leave. And when a betrayal threatens to take down everything she has built, fear does what fear always does: it makes decisions on her behalf.
Worth the Risk is a contemporary romance about two people who know exactly what they want and keep finding reasons not to reach for it. About the cost of lowering your guard and the courage it takes to stay open. About a woman who learned not to wait for people and the man who showed her, one small honest act at a time, that some things are worth the risk.
Spanning New York to Las Vegas to the runways of Paris, this is the story of Lexi and Marco: the fire inspection that started everything, and the ivory gown that changed it all.
Second chance romance. Slow burn. A firefighter who says very little and means everything.
Now posting on Wattpad.
