THE DEBUT NOVEL
NOT EVEN
A LITTLE BIT
Some fantasies are safer
when they stay fantasies.
Mara Sullivan has built a life that works. She knows who she is. She knows what she wants. And she's old enough to know that wanting something doesn't necessarily mean you should have it.
Jensen has always been there.
Familiar. Safe. Someone Mara thought she understood — and someone she thought she understood herself around. Until something shifts.
What begins as an attraction she has no business entertaining becomes something much harder to dismiss: a confrontation with desire, intimacy, and the uncomfortable distance between the life Mara has accepted and the one she might actually want.
Because there comes a point when being sensible starts looking an awful lot like being afraid. And Mara is beginning to wonder how much longer she's willing to behave.
A novel about sex, intimacy, reinvention, and the complicated business of wanting more when you're supposed to be old enough to know better.
