Serena Thomas enters a high-priced escort world for a temporary fix—get debts paid. The transition from living with her grandmother to an apartment with a bunch of beautiful women presents many challenges. Confronting them, she discovers a lot more than she ever could have imagined: friendship, a home, and the rare kind of passion that lasts a lifetime.

 

Lincoln Jefferson, owner of The Lounge, is a driven man with an all-business attitude. Serena stutters into his life and blows his cautious reserves to hell. It isn’t her innocence or beauty that captivates him. It’s a radiance she possesses, making her hard to resist. For all of his darkness, her immense light gives him hope. Something he hasn’t had in over a decade.

 

Both are hiding the truth. When the past becomes difficult to put behind them, they’ll have no choice but to face it. Will they do it together or alone?

 

Because...

It takes strength to confront the past—and love to conquer it.
