Thereβs room in a heart for more than one kind of love.
Dara and Adrien Valliere are soul mates and best friendsβ¦but theyβre not lovers. Their marriage may be unconventional, but itβs satisfying and loving, and theyβve never needed anything or anyone else.
Until they met writer Stacia Leonard.
Stacia built a career on maintaining close ties with her fictional characters while keeping everyone else at armβs length. She avoids intimacy, apart from a few one-night stands when the loneliness and need become too much. But when Adrien Valliere, her cover model and long-distance friend, invites her for drinks, sheβs too fascinated to refuse.
Dara recognizes the physical attraction between her husband and Stacia and sees it for what it is: an opportunity to help Adrien get what he needs. Dara can breathe easy knowing that both she and her husband are happy.
Before long, though, itβs clear that Staciaβs connection isnβt just with Adrienβ¦ She and Dara have something special, and itβs something neither of them canβor want toβdeny.
