When a mysterious "astronaut" walks into her favorite bar, art teacher Maya Gershawn does what she does best: creates a perfect one-night fantasy where her lupus doesn't exist.

But when Zachary shows up as her new classroom partner -- sharing her cramped trailer and watching her every move -- Maya's carefully hidden world threatens to shatter.

Between her principal's war on her curriculum, her mother's mortifying public crusade about Maya's illness, and Zachary's dangerously addictive presence, Maya's control is slipping. The ferret she rescued during a hurricane might be the only thing keeping her sane.

Zachary Becker abandoned Silicon Valley for a teaching dream, but he wasn't prepared for Maya -- brilliant, stubborn, and determined to handle everything alone even as her body betrays her. When her secret explodes across social media and lands her in the hospital, Zachary must convince her that love doesn't mean losing herself.

A swoony romance about finding someone who sees all of you -- even the parts you've been hiding -- and loves you not despite them, but because of them.
