Description
Liesl is looking for a fresh start, not a scandal. After a crushing heartbreak, she returns to Seattle and finds temporary refuge in the one place she definitely shouldn't be: the home of her best friend’s mother. Teri is everything Liesl has suppressed since her college days—graceful, accomplished, and utterly magnetic. She is also strictly off-limits.
For Teri, life is comfortably settled. She has her career and her urban garden, but nothing in her structured world prepares her for the sudden, electric presence of her daughter’s best friend. What begins as a polite housing arrangement quickly disintegrates into a series of lingering gazes and suffocating tension. As they trade late-night secrets and navigate the intimate space of their shared home, the boundary between mentor and lover blurs completely.
But their newfound passion comes with a ticking clock. Surrounded by the looming threat of discovery and the fear of shattering a lifelong friendship, Liesl and Teri must decide if they are brave enough to fight for a future together. In a game where the stakes are this high, every stolen kiss is a gamble, and love might just be the most dangerous risk of all.
