More Than This

You can love. You can sacrifice.
But when the time comes... could you let go?

"At that moment, I wished I could be someone else. Someone who wasn’t scared to be touched by desire and feel the flames of passion burning through her."

— Harper

"You don't get it Harper. I'm not supposed to feel anything,
but with you.... you make me feel everything."

— Reid

Bound by her past, Harper, a romance author, hides in the novel she now struggles to write. However, when a non-negotiable ultimatum brings Reid into her life, it changes everything. Not only is he a successful author, he’s also the ultimate alpha male. With an impenetrably dark demeanour, he appears emotionally detached… an enigma.

Whilst embarking on a research venture of a more intimate nature, the pair become close and soon the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred. They break the rules and when unexpected feelings develop, Harper becomes the greatest weakness he never saw coming. Reid knows the secret he hides will break her all over again.

As Harper struggles to let go of her past, Reid is forced to confront his. When past becomes present, they discover their story, their journey, their future, is part of a more entwined masterpiece. But when the time comes to make the ultimate sacrifice for love, can he really let her go?
