For twenty-four years, she was the perfect governor's wife. Now she wants something—and someone—entirely her own. At fifty-six, Anna Lockwood knows how to command a ballroom, charm a donor, and smile for a camera while standing beside the most powerful man in Maryland. What she doesn't know is how to live for herself. Freshly divorced and determined to deliver her first major speech as an independent woman, the former first lady hires Reese Calloway, a forty-one-year-old Baltimore speechwriter with a sharp red pen, an infuriating ability to see through polite lies, and absolutely no patience for rehearsed answers. Reese's job is simple: help Anna find her voice. Falling for her is nowhere in the contract. But between late-night revisions, unguarded confessions, and a chemistry neither woman can ignore, Anna discovers desires she has spent decades pretending not to have. And Reese discovers that the woman behind Maryland's most famous smile is far more dangerous to her heart than she ever imagined. Their relationship is private at first. Then a photograph changes everything. Suddenly, Anna's family, her ex-husband's foundation, and the public image she's spent half her life protecting all have opinions about the woman she's falling in love with. Reese has been someone's well-kept secret before. She refuses to do it again. Now Anna must decide whether she's finally ready to stop standing beside someone else's life—and start living her own. A scorching, emotionally satisfying standalone sapphic romance featuring a fifteen-year age gap, a former first lady discovering her sexuality, a fiercely independent speechwriter, forbidden attraction, and two grown women learning that real love should never require either of them to disappear. Explicit romance. Mature heroines. Guaranteed happily ever after.
