At thirty-seven, successful businesswoman Sam Phillips is still grieving the love of her life. Two years after losing her wife, she has buried herself in work, convinced that love—real love—was a once-in-a-lifetime gift she'll never know again. Her world feels quieter now, lonelier...but safer, too. After all, hearts don't break twice. Do they?
Alexis Foster lives a very different life. At twenty-five, she's captivating, ambitious, and unapologetically in control of her future. Her world of high-end escorting offers luxury, independence, and most importantly no strings. She tells herself there's time for love one day, but not now. Not while her heart is guarded behind charm, contracts, and a dangerous job outside of escorting.
When their worlds collide, neither expects more than a passing moment. But what begins as a simple decision stirs something neither of them can ignore. For Sam, it's the terrifying flicker of something she thought she'd buried. For Alexis, it's a glimpse of something she never thought she could have.
One woman haunted by her past.
Another hiding from hers.
Can love find its way through the wreckage...or is some pain too deep to risk again?
