A second chance at first love is exactly what these coffee shop coworkers need, but can they learn to trust in forever? Three months ago, Jordan vanished. Gone. Leaving Ethan, his friend and sometimes more, devastated. Ethan thought they had something real, something more than simply friendship and working together at the same small coffeehouse. But now Jordan’s back. And so is the pull he has over Ethan. He hates himself for still feeling the same sizzling attraction to Jordan, the same temptation, the same soul-deep passion that tells him that they’re so much more than friends. But if they’re going to be anything more than coworkers with after-hours benefits, Jordan’s going to have to trust Ethan with the truth. And his heart. But even if he makes that leap, Ethan must find his own courage and take a risk on lasting love. Hidden in the Shadows is the second book in the Beyond Desire series, but it stands alone well with a brand-new couple and no spoilers! This full-length second chance new adult romance stars two friends and contains all the steamy feels along with a guaranteed happy ending.

She has a strong love affair with cold brew coffee, black cats, and nerding out in various fandoms.
