Summary

PI Bradshaw receives a late night call from a client desperate to find her missing daughter. The woman asks to meet him at a storage unit in upstate New York. The woman hangs up before Bradshaw can inquire further. Woken by the jarring news, Bradshaw decides to meet the frantic, mysterious woman pleading for his help.

Working as a private investigator has its drawbacks. Bradshaw often receives prank calls from clients with run-of-the-mill requests and chooses his cases wisely. But there is something unusual and unnerving about this particular call. The hopeless plea in the woman's voice and the anonymity of her demand ignite a maelstrom of questions.

While Bradshaw decides whether the call is worth pursuing, a young dead girl from the Other Side visits him, demanding attention and seeking help for the request he just received. Who is this spirit? What does she want? And how is she linked to the caller?

    They seem destined for happiness—but the truth can’t be left behind for long. 
     
    Jen Fletcher is grateful to have a job. Any job. Even the boring, daily grind as a courier. Except for Thursdays, when her regular route swings through the swanky side of town, and she gets to flirt with Suzanne Dixon. A dark-haired beauty who dazzles in everything from sweats to business suits. Whose briefest touch sends heat racing through Jen’s body. 
     
    For those few precious minutes, Jen can forget she’s an ex-schoolteacher. And an ex-con. 
     
    Three years into widowhood, and Suzanne is finally ready to move on. No one is more surprised than she is that it's a mild-mannered courier who jump-starts her mind—and libido. Confident, sexy, a little masculine, Jen is an oasis in Suzanne’s otherwise dreary week. 
     
    When Suzanne boldly asks Jen out, Jen can’t bring herself to reveal her past right off the bat. But she didn’t expect their relationship to become so perfect, so fast. Inevitably, the truth comes out. By the time they realize they’re falling for each other, the rift between them may be too great to repair . . . 
     
    Contains mature themes.

    An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance with an ice queen whose frosty facade is melted by the power of touch.
    Hannah Martin has an unusual job: she's a professional cuddler. While she has a big heart for her clients, she hasn't found someone special to snuggle up to in her personal life.
    Winter Sullivan isn't looking for love. She's an aloof workaholic who's built walls of ice around herself. She would rather drive toothpicks under her fingernails than cuddle, and she certainly doesn't want to share her space with anyone.
    When Winter's estranged father dies, he leaves her one last surprise: she and Hannah, a perfect stranger, will inherit a building together. But there's a catch: first, they have to live together for ninety-two days.
    Winter is determined to dislike her rival, but soon finds Hannah isn't what she expected at all. Thanks to a hilarious doormat war, a cuddle dare from Winter's half sister, and a kiss in the most unusual of places, the frosty fortress around her heart begins to melt.
    Will she be able to accept that love might be just a touch away?

    The way you held me. 
    The way you kissed me. 
    It was everything about you I loved. 
      
    The flattening of that smile. 
    The silence of your laughter. 
    The loss of your lips. 
    The way you left. 
    The way you destroyed it all. 
    The way you destroyed me. 
    Destroyed us. 
    It was everything about you I hated. 
      
    Everything about you. 
    I wanted. 
    Needed. 
    Hoped for. 
    And that day you not only broke my heart. 
    You f*cking crushed it.
