How far are you willing to lie to protect your career—and your heart? Zoe Bennett is a senior editor and an expert at keeping control. At thirty-two, her life is a perfectly edited document: no errors, no surprises, and above all, no runaway emotions. Until an anonymous manuscript lands on her desk. It’s brilliant, raw, and has a voice that feels painfully familiar. The problem isn’t the literary quality. The problem is that the invisible signature belongs to Ethan Cole, the ex who broke her heart at twenty-five without leaving a trace. Now, Zoe must decide whether to publish what could be the book of the year or stay silent to save her wounded ego. The tension is electric: every correction is an accusation, every email a verbal battle disguised as professionalism. But when the publishing industry begins to close ranks and the past refuses to stay archived, Zoe faces her greatest fear: that being the 'right' adult is just a facade, and that chemistry isn’t magic—it’s a terrifying decision. Can she let go of control before it’s too late?
