Can Brooke separate the real woman she knows and loves from the one that the public sees, or will it tear them apart all over again?
After spending her whole childhood in and out of foster care, TJ Edmonds has created a whole brand around not getting attached to other people. She has a best-selling novel and a popular phone app both dedicated to helping people stay detached from their significant others, so they don’t get hurt. She even uses the method in her own life to allow her to jump from woman to woman. Life is pretty perfect. At least, on the outside. Inside, she’s keeping a big secret. The only reason she can move on so quickly now is because she still hasn’t let go of someone from her past. It’s easy to guard her heart when she no longer has it to give away.
After everything TJ put her through, Brooke Finnegan vowed she would never speak to her again, but in a moment of weakness, she reaches out to her. Now that she’s back in TJ’s world, she’s falling for her all over again. TJ seems to have changed, but the one thing that tore them apart (TJ’s inability to commit) is what TJ’s whole career is based around. Can Brooke separate the real woman she knows and loves from the one that the public sees, or will it tear them apart all over again?
