Up Next.
Nora
I have no clue what I want to do with my life.
After finishing high school, I’ve been content working as a barista, but I know it isn’t what I want to do forever.
So when the customer I’d been crushing on asked me on a date, I was more than ready to shake up my routine.
Except Asher isn’t who I thought he was.
He claims I’m in danger and he’s the only one who can help me.
Now I’m trapped in his apartment and everything I thought I knew about my life and about myself is changing.
I can’t help but wonder, when we come out on the other side of this, will Asher stay, or will he disappear from my life as suddenly as he arrived?
Asher
I’m not a good man. I’ve made a career out of doing bad things to worse people.
But after my last job went sideways, I need a break.
What I got instead was a sweet little barista in more danger than she could recognize.
I’d been obsessing over Nora from afar for weeks, so when I learned she was a target, I didn’t hesitate to jump in.
Keeping Nora safe should be easy for a man like me.
The real challenge is holding on to my heart in the process.
Nora’s presence in my life batters at my carefully built walls, and it’s only a matter of time before they come tumbling down.
The question is: will my little barista still want me when she knows who I really am?
