"Cordelia ran from her feelings once. Can she risk her heart a second time?

Years ago, a single almost-kiss with Regina Mancini changed everything for Cordelia. It sparked desires she didn't understand, fears she couldn't face. She chose the safe path, the expected path…and regretted it ever since.

Now, divorced and starting over in Chicago, Cordelia is determined to live authentically. But when Regina walks back into her life, those buried feelings resurface, stronger than ever. This time, Regina is ready to claim what she wants, but she's also entangled in a complicated relationship with her ex, and carrying secrets of her own.

A fake relationship, born of family pressure and a desperate attempt to keep things casual, quickly turns real. Cordelia and Regina discover a shared passion, a deep connection that transcends their opposite personalities. They begin to build a fragile trust, brick by brick.

But when a ghost from Regina's past reappears, threatening their newfound happiness, and a dream job offer pulls Cordelia in another direction, they're both forced to confront their deepest fears.

Will their rekindled love be strong enough to withstand the secrets they've both been keeping? Or will a shocking betrayal tear them apart, leaving Cordelia to wonder if some loves are truly meant to stay lost forever?"
