She wore red gloves to hide her scars. He saw beauty in every broken piece.

Catherine Ashford has learned to live in the shadows. Five years after a brutal attack by her ex-fiancé shattered her life, she exists in careful isolation—writing novels under a pseudonym, avoiding her past, and never, ever taking off the elegant red gloves that have become her armor.

Marcus Holloway is a defense attorney who fights for the truth. Exhausted from a demanding case, he seeks refuge in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where a mysterious woman in red gloves is studying a Monet. Their conversation about shadows and light sparks something neither expected—a connection that feels both dangerous and inevitable.

As Catherine and Marcus grow closer, she must confront the walls she's built around her heart. Can she trust this man who seems to see past her carefully constructed defenses? And when her abuser comes up for parole, forcing Catherine to face her worst nightmare, will she find the courage to reclaim her life—and embrace a love she thought she'd never deserve?

The Girl with Red Gloves is a deeply moving contemporary romance about survival, healing, and the transformative power of love. It's a story about learning that scars don't define us, that vulnerability is strength, and that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is let someone in.

Perfect for readers who loved "It Ends with Us" by Colleen Hoover and "The Kiss Quotient" by Helen Hoang.
