Some agreements are meant to be simple.
Nora Hayes has spent years building a life she can rely on. She doesn’t take risks. She doesn’t make emotional decisions. And she definitely doesn’t cross lines she can’t undo.
So when a single clause forces her into something unexpected, she keeps it exactly where it belongs—
Controlled. Temporary. Clear.
Ian Mercer understands structure just as well as she does. He knows how things are supposed to work. What they cost. And what happens when people get it wrong.
But the closer he gets to Nora, the harder it becomes to keep everything inside the lines.
Because not everything follows a plan.
And not everything stays temporary.
What started as something simple…
is turning into something neither of them can ignore.
A clean, later-in-life romance for readers who value thoughtful stories, real choices, and emotionally grounded connections.
Genre: Inspirational
