Camden – 42, bookstore owner. Ruggedly handsome. Ex-writer. Reserved, smoldering, keeps his past locked up.
Lina – 23, part-time barista and student. Artistic, observant, with a crush she won't admit.
Ezra – 26, Lina's friend. New to town. Flirtatious, bold, and drawn to things that hurt a little.

🌙 The Story Begins…
With Lina not planning to fall for her boss.
But there was something about Camden—the way his fingers moved when he shelved first editions, the slow drag of his voice when he read aloud on rainy Sundays. He was older. Worn. Dangerous in the way quiet men are when they're too still.
So, she watched.
Until Ezra moved to town.
And watched him, too.
