It's not fate at play, but Renee's own doing that has brought her back into the orbit of the man she loved and lost five years ago. Nick, who shared her love for history and had only ever made one friend in his life: Renee. She thought she had closed that chapter for good, but now she finds herself working alongside him in a cramped office, on a high-stakes project. To maintain her composure, she sets up a few rules to keep their interactions professional, but how long can she resist his magnetism before those rules shatter completely? The stolen glances, accidental touches, and desperate words reignite the passion. The undeniable chemistry draws them together. But the real question is: how will they rewrite their story this time? This book is for you if you're a fan of second chances, strangers-to-friends-to-lovers stories, and forced proximity.
