Each book in this series can be read as a standalone.

Sloane Sterling is the best crisis manager in San Francisco — sharp, self-sufficient, and completely done with love. She's spent fifteen years perfecting that last part, ever since the woman she loved at twenty-three chose a conventional life over her. Sloane survived it by building armor so good it passes for a personality. She's fine. She's excellent, actually.

Then Tessa Montgomery walks into her conference room.

Tessa is the founder of a beloved, multi-million-dollar lifestyle brand built on the image of effortless domestic perfection. She is also, as of this week, collateral damage in her husband's embezzlement and infidelity scandal. She needs Vanguard. She needs Sloane. And Sloane — staring across sixteen feet of glass at the woman who shattered her at twenty-three — has approximately four seconds before her face does something she'll need to spin.

Forced into late-night crisis sessions in the gated quiet of Tessa's Pacific Heights mansion, the two women rebuild something that looks, dangerously, like the friendship they destroyed. Sloane is the only person alive who lets Tessa be furious and frightened and imperfect. Tessa is the only person who has ever made Sloane's carefully curated detachment feel like a loss rather than a victory.

But Sloane has one rule she's never she will not be anyone's secret, or their experiment. And Tessa — coming out in her late thirties, under a media microscope, while her life is already on fire — is terrified of exactly the kind of visible, irreversible choice that Sloane needs her to make.

Fifteen years. One truth. And a woman who controls every narrative but her own.

Is Tessa finally ready to stop spinning — and start choosing?
