Description
At forty-six, Philippa is finally embracing her truth, but coming out is only the first hurdle in a life already packed with the pressures of a high-stakes legal career and the joys and exhaustion of solo parenting a ten-year-old. Romance is the last thing on her to-do list, until a chance encounter at a networking event forces her into an unexpected alliance.
When a simple misunderstanding leads the room to believe that Philippa and the free-spirited graphic designer, Alex, are a couple, they decide to roll with the ruse. For both women, the fake relationship offers a convenient mask for the world to see. But the charade begins to fracture as chemistry sparks, leaving Philippa struggling to reconcile her evolving feelings with the reality that Alex is committed to a life of independence and no strings attached.
The stakes skyrocket when Alex faces a personal crisis that demands legal expertise only Philippa can provide, blurring the lines between their convenient lie and a burgeoning reality. As they navigate custody battles and the complexities of late-blooming love, Philippa must decide if the risk of a broken heart is worth the reward of a second chance at happiness.
