The line between friendship and desire doesn't fade just a little-it becomes invisible.
Love has always been scarce in Adeline Miller's life. The only exception has been her childhood best friend, Finn Walker. Their profound friendship was her lifeboat, an escape from the waking nightmare that consumed her days.
While everyone else is off at college, Adeline fills her days with a menial job and hopeless efforts to heal from the past while taking care of her mother. Everything changes when the little boy who brought warmth to her darkest days returns as a man who makes her feel things she never dared to feel before. He reminds her how it truly feels to be alive.
When secrets from the past resurface with devastating consequences, Adeline has to make a difficult choice, give in to her feelings, or walk away to keep him safe.
Amber Evergreen's debut novel is a raw and unflinching portrayal of love, resilience, and personal growth. Buckle up for a heartfelt romance that empowers women to rise above adversity and find their inner strength.
