Ava Steel isnât the typical member of her famous family. She colors her hair pink, practices the tarot, and runs her bakery in town without any help from her familyâs financial fortune. Sheâs content in her life, and she knows who she isâĶuntil she receives a cryptic text from a mysterious stranger.
Bar-owner Brendan Murphy inadvertently became entwined with the Steel family when he dug up timeworn documents under his floorboards. When he and Avaâwho, despite their age difference, heâs been crushing on for a whileâreceive identical enigmatic messages, theyâre thrown together for more than just fun between the sheets.
Ava revels in her new and unexpected relationship with Brendan, but deep down, she fears her family is keeping secretsâsecrets that could make her question everything she thought she knew about themâĶand herself.
