Make 2024 Me Whole by Disano, Angelina NEUF

Grace OLeary has a secret.

She keeps it locked away and experience has taught her to guard it carefully by avoiding long-term relationships. She keeps men at a distance, never letting anyone too close, not even when theyre charming and handsome and everything shes ever wanted. Like Joe Mura.

Joes parents had a disastrous marriage, leading him to think of "commitment" as a four-letter-word. But then he meets Grace. Shes smart, witty, sassy and beautiful, and he has never been drawn to anyone like he is drawn to her. Suddenly playing the field doesnt seem so appealing to Joe. But theres one problem: Grace has made it clear shes not interested in a serious relationship.

Over more than a year and across three states, the two find themselves repeatedly in each others orbit and eventually entangled in a passionate affair. Everything seems great until Graces secret is revealed.

Can Joe break down the walls Grace has put up around herself? Or will her secret create a barrier that is too much for their love to overcome?
