Austin is, Leylaβs sure, just as sweet and funny and attentive and flirty with her as he is with everyone else he serves at Pier Three Coffee. Sheβs nothing special. To be blunt, sheβs boring. All she ever does is follow the rigorous schedule she sets herself to get through grad school and fight for the career she craves.
Theyβve been watching each other for so long, each so sure of their own opinions about themselves and each other. But when Leyla finds she can help with Austinβs secret ambitions, so long as she gives up a few layers of her own self-protections, they must both decide how much to risk on the otherβs behalf. And what happens if, in the process, they begin to see themselves the way they see each other?
