Is it better to be loved or respected? That’s the message that Hayes Bancroft gets one night. As a movie star, he’s used to getting texts from random numbers that he doesn’t recognize, but most are from other celebrities or from fans who somehow got ahold of his number. He can tell right away that this one is different, though. Maeve Verbeck is an artist. A glassblower by trade, she spends most of her time alone with her kiln and glass. More of a homebody than a party animal, she spends her free time sending random texts to strangers. Usually, the conversations only last for a couple of messages, so she’s surprised when she texts someone, and it continues past the night. When these two finally meet, will they be able to survive the heat or will they break like glass? *Warning: This is a short, quick, instalove read with plenty of heat and just enough sweetness to have you begging for more.
