Jo Bradford has a thing for the guy in the corner of the café—the one who reads poetry, wears soft cotton joggers, and looks like he could ruin her in the best way. She doesn’t know his name, has never spoken to him, but he’s her guilty pleasure, her escape hatch from every bad decision she’s ever made—including her ex, Zac, and the vibrator currently malfunctioning in her purse.

Then one mortifying afternoon, their worlds collide—literally. What starts as an steamy disaster becomes something else entirely. Something gentler. Warmer. Realer than Jo expected.

Now she’s navigating first dates, panic bathroom makeovers, and the rising suspicion that she might actually like this guy. Like, really like him. And if she wants to stop sabotaging the good stuff in her life, she’ll have to take a chance—for once—with her eyes open and her heart on the line.

A steamy, sharp, and soft-hearted romance about messy timing, magnetic chemistry, and the courage to say yes when it counts.
