Allison Abraham is a waitress at a diner, moving through the ordinary rhythms of her shift, when a man with electric blue eyes sits down in her section. He stares at her in a way that feels different from any customer she has served before, then leaves without explanation. She cannot stop thinking about him. What Allison does not know is that Cedric Callahan walked into that diner with a purpose. He came looking for her specifically. He was not supposed to fall for her. In fact, every reason he had for finding her made romantic feelings the worst possible outcome. But Cedric wants to know her before he tells her the truth, so he lets her believe their repeated encounters are accidents. A real relationship grows between them. Then his secrets come out. The reasons he sought her in the first place reshape everything Allison thought she understood about her own life. Penelope Ward's Gemini is a romance built on a lie that two people let themselves believe for as long as they can.
