Sinopsis

Would you call Alice Teakle a stalker?  Or just someone with an, um, healthy obsession with golden girl Polly Linley Dawson?  No one much notices Alice: not her boss, not the neighbors, not even her Mother.Besides, everyone follows Polly: her business selling high-end lingerie you can imagine only her elegant self wearing, her all-over-the-social-pages marriage to movie director Humphrey Dawson, her chic looks, her wardrobe. Alice just follows her a little more….closely.And when she loses her job and starts to follow Polly Dawson one Manhattan autumn afternoon, Alice stumbles on the object of her attention sprawled dead on the floor of a boutique.  Alice is forced to become truly beneath anyone's notice. Invisible, in fact. Because she's accused of murder.But can another obsession help save Alice with the fallout?  Charlie is Alice's longtime unattainable crush.  He might be able to help her out of the mess she's in…in return for a favor or two, that is.    And how will Alice find out if Charlie is really the man Alice thinks he is?

    Willette Archer has a secret—though some would argue how well kept it actually is. As right-hand woman and best friend to the owner of Bird's Eye Tattoo Studio, her job has become her whole life. So, she occupies her days with shop decisions to avoid her disappointing dating life. 
     
     
     
    Of course, that might also have something to do with her two-decade old infatuation with her aforementioned best friend's older brother. 
     
     
     
    Derek Tanner is at a loss—with basically everything. His apartment lease is up, most of his belongings are somewhere in storage, and the good doctor has been pulling extra shifts at the hospital due to lack of staff. His life is chaos. Thanks to these wonderful circumstances, dating is nowhere on his radar. 
     
     
     
    When his little brother suggests he stay in Willette's spare room for the time being, he's both grateful and hesitant. Sure, he grew up with Will, but they've never been as close—let alone in close quarters. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't take very long for Doctor Derek to start seeing Will in a new light. 
     
     
     
    When boundaries are crossed and relationships are finally taken to the next level, will Willette get exactly what she's been hoping for since childhood?
