How can you love someone when you don't know who you are anymore? Julie: He’s the newest Sexiest Man Alive. I’m the most cheated-on woman in Hollywood, and my life is a PR nightmare. It can’t work. Ian: All I want is a chance to show her that I am what she needs. I’ve waited for years, and I won’t give up, even if it means being tangled in all her drama. Some women are worth the wait. The perfect guy comes with a pinch of kink, and the heroine could be seen as difficult and lost. Swearing is a must and being a mess is a prerogative—midlife crisis in progress.

What happens when a strong heroine meets a broken hero? Ryan: I’ll destroy her and every glimmer of hope she represents, or I’ll cling to her for my life. All I need is a sign to know which direction to take. A sign to save me or annihilate us both. A way forward when all I see is her. Virginia: He can push, I’ll stand strong. But he might be my downfall, and I’ll never let him pull me down into his darkness. No matter the temptation. An emotional, enemies-to-lovers romance that will guide you through love, hardship, and forgiveness.

Who will be the first to fall ? The uptight lawyer or the laid-back tattoo artist? Dex: Happiness is overrated. Finding someone who has my back and takes care of me is optional, and Luke Gritt is not an option. The way I see it, he’s only a sexy complication. Luke: One-night stand? No thanks. Friends-with-benefits relationship? Tricky, especially with an insanely hot, three-piece-suit man who lights up only around me. If opposites attract, Dex and I collide. A friends-to-lovers m/m romance filled with angst, love, and forgiveness.
