    Summary

    Adrian never meant to get involved. Taking a quiet post-war position as Professor Vector’s apprentice was supposed to keep him out of the spotlight, away from politics and judgment. But then The Golden Girl entered the picture, all frayed at her edges and just as desperate as he was to forget.

    What should have been a one time lapse in judgement spiraled quickly into something more. A standing arrangement, nights spent chasing oblivion in each other’s arms, and the unspoken rule that feelings had no place between tangled sheets. But lines blur, and somewhere in the haze of desire, Adrian realizes he’s falling.

    The problem? He wasn’t the only one vying for her heart. And though he had her body, jealousy and doubt twist inside him. To move forward, Adrian must decide whether their fragile escape is enough for him or if he dares to ask for something more, something real.
