Almost chosen. Almost enough. Almost loved. Laine keeps finding herself in the same place—drawn into connections that feel real, intimate, and full of promise, only to end just before certainty arrives. Each relationship comes with its own explanation. The timing is wrong. The distance is temporary. Someone isn’t ready. Someone almost stays. As Laine moves through a series of almost-loves, the pattern beneath them becomes harder to ignore. What she once mistook for chemistry begins to feel like something else entirely. The closeness without safety. The intensity without commitment.

When forensic accountant Emma Hartley uncovers a deadly pharmaceutical cover-up, she becomes the most valuable—and most vulnerable—witness in a federal case. With powerful executives desperate to silence her and someone leaking her locations, standard witness protection is no longer enough. Enter Deputy U.S. Marshal Ryan Cross. His solution is risky, unorthodox, and off the books: a fake marriage and a quiet life in a small town where Emma can disappear in plain sight.
