Carson

As the founder of a multimillion-dollar international security firm, Carson Bad has built a career on uncovering other people's secrets, which is exactly why he knows better than to base a relationship on them.

Yet for years he did just that, sharing a hidden bond with his best friend and secret lover, Tawny Bishop, a woman who brought calm to his guarded life until a single night changed everything between them. Tawny is no longer the uncertain college student she once was.

She has become a sought-after perfumer in Paris, outwardly successful but haunted by lonely nights and thoughts of the only man she has ever loved, the one she ran from a decade ago. Determined to move forward and unable to, she turns up unannounced in the middle of the night to make sense of the past and her future.

Given a second chance he never expected, Carson is resolved not to repeat the mistake that drove her away, if only he understood what that mistake truly was. Their reunion tests whether two people can rebuild what secrecy once cost them.
