The things I love the most are now the things that keep me up at night, scared and breathless.
After suffering an injury at the hands of an ex-partner, I'm too scared to let anyone get close again. How can I offer someone else the kind of trust and control that love demands? But worn down from my isolation and loneliness, I give in and accept a dinner invitation from a handsome younger man who is miles out of my league…

I've never been scared to go after the things I want, and right now, all I want is Heath. It doesn't matter that he's skittish, I can be patient. And even though it should, it doesn't matter that he's my college professor either.
Things between us were going better than good, but Heath's ex shows up out of nowhere, leaving both of us questioning everything. If I want to make things work, I have to do the thing I've been most resistant to for my whole life. I need to ask for help. I need to trust.
We've both found liberation in restraint, but now it's time to find the freedom from finally being unfettered.
