Nora came to the bar to decompress after another long day running her bakery. She has no interest in romance tonight, especially not with Cooper. He used to be married to her best friend, which makes him absolutely forbidden territory. But as the evening unfolds, Cooper and Nora discover an undeniable chemistry that surprises them both. Their flirtation builds throughout the night, breaking every unspoken rule about dating within their social circle. They face an impossible choice between following their attraction and protecting their existing relationships. The night forces them to decide whether their connection is worth the complications it will create.
