Behind her walls lies a scared heart. Behind his smile hides a damaged soul. Their reflections reveal truths neither is ready to face...

Gabby's got life figured out—or at least that's what she tells herself. Nice guys are just wolves in sheep's clothing, and she doesn't need anyone's help to live her best life. But when her carefully crafted facade starts cracking under pressure, her greatest fear isn't falling... it's being seen.

Charlie sees right through her defenses to the woman she's trying so hard to protect. He's determined to prove he's different from the men who've hurt her. But his own demons are lurking, ready to sabotage everything the moment she finally lets him in.

As their attraction deepens in the sensual playground of St. Abigail's underground scene, both must face the hardest truth of all: sometimes loving someone means first learning to love yourself.
