From the writer of How Not to Fall comes an electrifying, powerful new story about love, trust, and emotional surrender. Once upon a time, med student Annie Coffey set out to possess a solely physical fling with Charles Douglas, a gorgeous British doctor in her lab. It didn’t quite workout that way. Rather, secrets-and desires-were bared, hearts were damaged, and Annie knew she had to keep this complicated, compelling man who continues to be convinced he can’t ever give her what she requirements. Walking away can be one thing. Staying away can be another. Annie and Charles reunite at a London meeting, rekindling a camaraderie they struggle to protect from their intense physical connection. Over time, Annie gets a glance into Charles’s dark past and his wealthy, dysfunctional family. Soon, she’s finding what it means to have someone state her, body and soul. And she’s learning that once in an eternity you look for a love that may make you perform anything…except let go.
