A standalone contemporary romance in the Astray Chronicles series. She spent ten years asking him every question except the one that mattered. Claire has been in love with her best friend for a decade. She asked whether he was single. Whether he liked anyone. What she meant to him. She never asked if he loved her. When he introduces her to his fiancée, Claire's carefully protected hope finally shatters. One terrible night later, she wakes up in her Toronto apartment with a quiet stranger named Luca watching over her—and absolutely no idea why she trusted him enough to bring her home. Luca never pressures her. He never plays games. Whenever Claire asks him a question, he simply answers. Soon, he is staying for dinner. Sleeping beside her. Meeting her coworkers. And whenever someone asks if they're dating, he simply says yes. There is only one problem. Claire never realized they were. After spending ten years waiting for someone else to define their relationship, Claire must finally ask what she wants—and decide whether she is brave enough to say it first. A tender, fast-paced, cinematic, dialogue-driven contemporary romance with brief narration and playful banter, featuring a shy heroine who finds herself accidentally dating a devoted hero, navigating cultural misunderstandings, and learning to say exactly what she means. A closed-door romance where passion runs deep, but intimate moments fade to black. Heat level: Fade-to-black / non-explicit. A guaranteed HEA.
