Mateo Silva doesn’t believe in falling in love. Raised in foster homes, he’d finally built a family with friends, which he didn’t intend to lose. His only problem was Raya Hansen. She was a friend and employee—so he should know better than to end up in her bed. Unable to resist, Mateo decides he can have the best of both worlds—keep it professional during the day and get the sheets dirty at night. They’ll be together whenever they can, with no commitment, no expectations out of bed, and no one can know. Raya, who has been in love with Mateo for over a decade, decides this is the only way she can have him. However, Raya cannot hold her emotions at bay, especially as Mateo continues to see other women, and it starts to feel like this arrangement is one-sided. When it all becomes too much, Raya not only quits Mateo but also her job. Mateo is disappointed that Raya couldn’t compartmentalize their professional and personal relationships—but he doesn’t stop her from leaving. As the days go by, Mateo finds that he misses Raya, not just in bed but out of it as well. He wants her back, but she’s decided she won’t settle for anything less than big LOVE. Will Mateo get over his damaged childhood and learn to love, and will Raya forgive Mateo for not respecting her love?
