All Claire wanted was a night of casual fun, a no-strings-attached distraction from the stress of her new salon renovations. Well, the stress from one person in particular—the owner of the company overseeing those renovations.
On a night out with her best friend, Claire picks the perfect distraction. Blue eyes. Tall with a body made for sin. A guy who knows how to push all the right buttons. Over and over.
Turns out, he’s also the lead contractor. The owner of the construction company, an expert at pushing all the wrong buttons.
Once the truth is out, Claire wants out, too, but every time she turns around, he’s there. Showing her how nice it is to have someone to lean on and let go with. To have someone patient enough to be waiting on the other side when she finally lets those walls come down. Seeing her in a way she hasn’t let herself be seen before. And when he wears those backwards caps, she almost forgets to care that she’s falling, too. Inexperienced with love and romance, Claire is a one and done girl, but this guy makes her question everything.
Trusting the Fall is a contemporary romance about hidden identities, finding the person who suits you perfectly, and learning to trust the fall into love. It's spicy, swoony and funny in all the right places.
