Description
Dr. Nicola Forbes has built her entire life around the comfort of rigorous boundaries. As a therapist, she prides herself on her emotional detachment and unwavering professional ethics. But the carefully constructed walls of her practice begin to crumble the moment Avery Hall, a captivating and high-profile Hollywood star, walks through her door.
Avery is everything Nic is not: bold, unfiltered, and deeply exhausted by the suffocating scrutiny of fame. While Avery navigates the pressures of being a queer icon in the public eye, Nic is quietly mourning the past and burying herself in her work. What starts as a series of guarded sessions slowly ignites into an undeniable, electric chemistry that neither woman can suppress.
Caught in the crosshairs of a forbidden attraction, Nic faces an impossible choice. To pursue a relationship with Avery would mean shattering her professional reputation and risking the only career she has ever known. Yet, as the line between patient and partner blurs, she realizes that the cost of walking away might be far greater than the risk of staying. This is a powerful, high-stakes exploration of desire, the heavy burden of public identity, and the thrill of falling for someone who is entirely off-limits.
