When red-headed tech genius Emma Vernon lands a trouble-shooting job at The Workflow Editorial Initiative, she has to share an office with quiet senior editor Barbara Simmons. Emma finds herself fascinated by the scholarly and reserved woman nicknamed Bebe, and they soon find common ground during long lunches and lively discussions that bridge their two worlds.

When Bebe steps in to protect Emma from an abusive ex, the pair make a hasty retreat to the sanctuary of Emma's family home in the Virginia countryside. Bebe, accustomed to solitude and the company of books, suddenly finds herself surrounded by a lively ensemble of family members, pets, and the constant buzz of fun-filled and often chaotic activity. And of course, Emma. Especially Emma.

Will Bebe embrace the unpredictable joy that comes with the powerful attraction between them? Or will she leave behind potential happiness for the comfort of the familiar quiet life she's left behind?
