Ruby Hebert is a woman who knows exactly what she wants… except how to get it. Strong, determined, and co-owner of her own bar alongside her best friend, Ruby has built a seemingly perfect life. But beneath that façade of control lies a devastating truth: she’s been in love with Ellie since they were nine years old.
Ellie Trahan is a hurricane of emotions wrapped in an irresistible aura. Impulsive, passionate, and eternally unsatisfied in love, she has turned sabotaging her own relationships into an art form, comparing every man to the impossible standard set by her best friend.
Everything changes when, one night, a kiss as unexpected as it is incendiary awakens sensations in Ellie that she has never experienced before, making her question everything she thought she knew about herself as she discovers that all the men in her life have been mere pale reflections of what she really wants, because none of them are like Ruby.
