Life has taught high functioning Sanaa Kensey that love and acceptance are only available when she executes, without error. She has the career. She has the husband. She has the kids. It's everything she's ever dreamed of, if her dreams were made of sorrow, loneliness, and martyrdom. On the brink of divorce, Sanaa finds courage hidden deep within herself and decides to pursue a passion long forgotten. In the process, she's placed once more in the path of the enigmatic, silently charming Waike Arrington, a man she's had the hots for since college. The problem? He's her best friend's dad.
Waike Arrington is resolution personified. A highly disciplined U.S. Navy veteran turned real estate developer magnate, his uncompromising drive finds a way or makes a way. He's fierce. He's honest. He's single. And quite content until a business endeavor reunites him once again with Sanaa Kensey. And when he's determined he wants her, Sanaa struggles to give herself permission to want him back.
Together, they weave a blanket with the fabric of safety and comfort suited just for themselves. And nestled in this space, Sanaa realizes her worth is found in who she is, not what she does. But with this revelation comes the very real threat of fallout with Wynter, her best friend, and the only other person in whom Sanaa has found peace and rest. Now, Sanaa and Waike must ask if the love they've found in each other is worth setting fire to caution and risking everything.
