Publisher Description

Can my love erase her scars? Even the ones that I caused…

She's my friend's sister and I know she’s always had a crush on me. It makes me uncomfortable. When she came back to Boston to take care of her dying father, I made sure she had a job in my tech company.

According to her boss, she's an introverted software genius. According to my girlfriend, she's plain and boring. According to her brother, she has no social life and is damaged.

The worst part of the story? She overhears me saying that she has no curves, no fashion sense, and was hired as a favor to her brother. All true at the time!

But when we are forced to work together on a project, her brilliance, resilience, and hidden depths challenge everything I thought I knew about myself and my feelings for her.

As barriers break and truths emerge, I'm on a mission not just to win her heart but to prove love can transcend past judgments and scars.

It Must Be Love is a standalone Modern Vintage Romance.
