A chance meeting, a lasting bond, and a love worth the journey.EveLiving near the peaceful Norfolk coast has its comforts, but lately, life feels like a loop I can’t break. Work, solitary walks, and far too much wine for one (my local shopkeeper is starting to judge me). On a whim, I join a hike with the Ramblers of St Claire. I don’t expect much, certainly not him. Aaron, with his London charm, that infuriatingly good smile, and a way of making me feel things I thought I had buried. One perfect day turns into one unforgettable night. No strings, no expectations. That’s the deal. So why can’t I stop thinking about him or finding excuses to return to St Claire?AaronI wasn’t looking for an escape. I just needed to get out for a bit. A painful divorce will do that, apparently. St Claire wasn’t part of any grand plan, just a place to clear my head and prove to myself I could survive a weekend without Deliveroo. I didn’t expect Eve. Shy, gorgeous, and funny in that way that sneaks up on you and lingers long after you should have let it go. One incredible day, one night I can’t forget, and a simple agreement. No strings, no future, just now. But somehow, I keep finding my way back. So does she. And when fate throws us something neither of us planned for, we have to decide if we keep walking alone or finally admit we might just belong on the same path.This steamy romance is part of a series set in a shared world, but you don’t need to have read the others to enjoy it.
