Forbidden Desire and Emotional Truths: A Slow-Burn Lesbian Romance About Healing, Honesty, and Choosing Yourself. Literary icon Brielle Stone has crafted an admirable life—an adoring daughter, a handsome partner, and a stunning Manhattan apartment. It would be perfect if only she could fall in love with the safe, kind man she's dating. Therapist Maeve Raleigh has spent a career helping others untangle complicated emotions, but nothing prepares her for the quiet allure of her client, Brielle. Worse, a chance encounter at a seaside escape reveals the unthinkable: Maeve's brother is the man Brielle is trying so hard to love. But ending their professional relationship doesn't stop the women's intense attraction. Even torn by family, emotions, and ethics, the ache and longing remains. Are they willing to risk everything for a forbidden love that feels like coming home?
