Lark never meant for it to go beyond one night. Her brief fling with Eric-a confident, captivating man with a sharp wit and a devastating smile-was supposed to stay just that: fleeting. But when she discovers he's not only her sister's new boss but also a frequent presence in her life, walking away becomes impossible.
Eric, on the other hand, can't seem to stay away. The accomplished attorney is used to juggling high-stakes deals, but Lark is the one thing he can't negotiate his way out of. He knows their age gap and his position in her sister's circle make things messy, but nothing-not his career, not her prickly defenses-can stop him from wanting more.
Lark has her reasons for keeping Eric at arm's length. She's spent her life learning not to trust men like him-powerful, persistent, and far too smooth for her comfort. Her walls are high, her resolve even stronger, but Eric's determination to break through shakes her in ways she's not ready to admit.
As the lines between professional and personal blur, Lark and Eric must navigate a growing connection neither of them anticipated. But when mistrust and hidden insecurities threaten to derail their fragile bond, Eric must prove that he's more than the man she thought he was-and Lark must decide if taking a leap with him is worth the risk of falling.
In a world where love wasn't supposed to be this complicated, can two people from different stages of life find their way to forever?
