Publisher's Synopsis
A thief seeking redemption forms an unlikely connection with a former lawyer looking for a fresh start of her own, but what starts as friendship soon feels like much more...
Last year, Lauren Booker fled New York with a warrant out for her arrest. Now she's back and ready to make amends for her crime. She wants to rebuild her life, and Brooklyn is home. There's not much waiting for her here now, though, nothing except an online friend who's brought her so much joy during one of the hardest years of her life. When they finally meet in person, Lauren's unprepared for her attraction to Mia, but she's even less prepared to discover that Mia has an unexpected connection to her crime, putting Lauren's plans in jeopardy. Mia Solano has also had a difficult year. Recently divorced, she walked away from her legal career after a health scare caused her to reexamine her priorities. Now Mia owns a cat café, and she's struggling to adjust to a slower pace of life. She finds an unlikely friend in Lauren, but Lauren's legal troubles force Mia to revisit a part of her life she's trying to leave behind. She can't explain why she's so drawn to Lauren. They shouldn't have much in common, and yet, they just seem to click. As the connection between them strengthens, Lauren and Mia wrestle with growing feelings, but neither wants to risk their friendship by crossing that line. With Lauren's court date looming ever closer, they might lose everything, including each other.
