Darcy Anderson is smart, ambitious, and admittedly, just a little bit neurotic. As a young Black woman in the high-stakes world of finance, she’s had to fight for every inch of success—and she’s done it without apology. Now, after years on the West Coast, she’s finally on the verge of a major promotion. But when she watches her best friend find her happily-ever-after, Darcy begins to question her own work-life balance and what truly matters.
Charming, carefree, infuriatingly handsome Harrison Holm is a certified Casanova. A former hockey star turned high-profile corporate attorney, he has always avoided anything resembling emotional risk. Since college, he and Darcy—despite the distance—have shared an unshakable bond built on razor-sharp banter, unwavering support, and absolutely, unequivocally platonic friendship.
Until one spontaneous, alcohol-fueled night changes everything.
They agree to leave that night in the past and return to what they’ve always been. But when Darcy’s promotion brings her back to New York, and back into Harrison’s orbit, their carefully maintained dynamic begins to shift. As desire simmers and old boundaries blur, their friendly attraction shifts into something more complicated, leaving them to wonder: Can a decade of friendship survive the risk of something more?
