About this book

Luna Allen has built a life she loves—surrounded by her sisters and a chosen family of close friends—but she's carrying secrets that could upend everything, especially the one tied to her boss, the notoriously gruff man who signs her paychecks. What started as something she'd never regret has morphed into a complicated tangle of feelings she can't quite shake, even though he's prickly, impatient, and absolutely off-limits. When keeping quiet becomes harder than confessing, Luna has to decide whether some secrets are worth protecting or if the real risk lies in finally letting someone in. Get ready for a slow-burn romance that proves sometimes the best relationships grow between the people you never expected to understand you.
