"Every time a little bit of passion or interest shows up, you lock down and act like it never happened," he says, his voice softer now. "You don't need to do that. Not here, not with me."

Emory doesn't do vulnerability. As the backbone of Bookmark, she manages to keep everything running smoothly while keeping everyone at arm's length.

After all, caring too much has always meant losing what matters.

When the owner's grandson, Rylen, shows up to learn the ropes before taking over the business, Emory's carefully constructed walls are suddenly under siege. He's unfairly attractive, effortlessly wins over the regulars, and worst of all, his watchful eyes catch every slip in her carefully maintained indifference..

And now she's stuck training him.

She convinces herself that the way she notices his cologne is just because the back office is so cramped, that his smile doesn't affect her, that she's just tolerating him until his training ends.But between restocking shelves and helping customers, the lies grow weaker and her carefully guarded heart betrays her more and more.

As the line between colleagues and something more blurs dangerously, Emory will have to decide if she's brave enough to risk her heart on the one man that really sees her... even if he's about to become her boss.
