From Penelope Douglas comes a bold and addictive contemporary romance filled with tension, secrets, and unexpected connections.

Misha and Ryen have been pen pals for years—sharing their thoughts, fears, and truths through letters, while agreeing on one rule: they will never meet. Their connection is built on honesty… or so they think.

When a twist of fate brings them face-to-face without revealing their identities, everything changes. Reality doesn’t match the version they’ve created of each other, and the truth becomes far more complicated than either of them expected.

As secrets unravel and emotions intensify, they must confront who they really are—both to each other and to themselves. Because sometimes the person you think you know best is the one who can hurt you the most.
