After a devastating breakup, Sara moves to New York ready to shed her old self and dive into something thrilling—so when she locks eyes with a dangerously charming British stranger at a club, she figures one night of passion is exactly what she needs. But Max has a way of making her forget every rule she set for herself, and what starts as a scorching one-time encounter quickly becomes something neither of them can walk away from. As they sneak stolen moments around the city and push boundaries together, Sara finds herself craving more than just the heat between them—even as the fear of letting someone truly close threatens to unravel everything. It's a delicious dance between the safety of casual and the terrifying promise of something real.
