College goals? In progress. Career dreams? Within reach. Falling for her boss as Alaska prepares for winter? A scorching hot mistake she refuses to regret. Aurora thought she could handle it all-classes, a demanding corporate job, and a relationship she definitely shouldn't be in with her effortlessly composed boss. As long as no one finds out, everything should be fine. Except nothing ever stays that simple. When an unexpected family revelation shakes her sense of identity, Aurora is forced to confront questions she's avoided her whole life. Who counts as family? What does love really mean? And how much of herself is she willing to risk? Caught between spreadsheets and syllabi, office rules and real feelings, Aurora leans on a found family of coworkers and a best friend who believes in her even when she doesn't. Growing up is messy. Love is riskier. And Aurora is running out of time to choose. The odds are still good. The stakes? Higher than ever. Author's Note: Want more sapphic romance with big feelings and Alaskan vibes?
