LYRIC STERLING

Ava has spent her life being the capable one.​ 

As a second-grade teacher and part-time caregiver for her mother, Ava knows how to handle chaos, soothe fear, and keep everyone around her standing. What she doesn’t know how to do is let someone take care of her—especially not after past relationships taught her that needing too much only made her a burden.

Then a field trip accident puts her in the path of Matteo.

Calm, controlled, and quietly commanding, Matteo is the kind of man Ava has spent years trying not to want. He's a paramedic with a caring heart and a dominant’s instincts. He sees right past her bright dresses, classroom smiles, and quick jokes to the exhausted woman underneath who  longs for a safe place to set everything down.

Matteo never expected to find someone who wanted the kind of devotion he had to give. Ava never expected to find someone strong enough to hold her even when her carefully made world teetered.
