When a threat from her past reappears, their no-strings affair takes a turn into uncharted territory... For Blake Sullivan, money and success have always come easy. After earning millions in his early 20s, he now co-owns and operates The Spotted Dog, a Seattle Irish pub, with his two best friends.

Unable to leave each other alone, they agree to a casual affair. But when a threat from Raven's past resurfaces, their relationship pivots toward the unknown. Can they learn to trust each other before it's too late? Can their relationship survive the secrets of Raven's past? Author's Note: Please check the author's website for all tropes and CWs.
