One hookup was supposed to mean nothing. Instead, it changed everything. I've always believed I'd know when the right woman came along. Until then, keeping things casual made sense-no pressure, no expectations, no complications. That plan worked perfectly . . . until Chloe. She's brilliant, driven, and nothing like a simple friends-with-benefits arrangement. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to pretend what's happening between us is just physical. She makes me question every rule I've ever set-and whether I've been settling for less all along. But wanting her isn't the same as being brave enough to admit it. Chloe has her future mapped out, and I'm the last thing she needs complicating it. I should be a distraction. A mistake. Someone easy to walk away from. Except what's growing between us feels real. And proving that this is more than chemistry might be the biggest risk either of us has ever taken. A swoony, slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance where one night turns into a love neither of us saw coming. Contains mature themes.
