The Space Between Us

Care:

The moment I set eyes on Alex, I knew she was the total package: hilarious, smart, and somehow innocent and hot all at once.

I admit it: I wanted her bad. But I like to keep my options open, play the field. And sleeping with my roommate? A really, really bad idea.

I’d screw everything up, and I need Alex like I need breathing. Keep the space between us, hands off—and then I’ll never lose her.

So when my new boss and mentor wants a torrid love affair? I can’t resist. Even if she wants to keep us a secret, even if she’s terrified and I’m in over my head, it’s better than losing the best thing. The only thing—Alex.

Alex:

Care is sin personified: intoxicating, addictive, sensual.

There’s a different girl in her bed every weekend, and she can’t keep her hands off of the doctor who heads up her internship. Not a great idea, but that’s never stopped Carrington before.

I want to tell her that I know all of her broken pieces; I see the things that no one else does.

But she’s too wrapped up in breaking her own heart to notice all the things I want to give.
