I’ve always believed love is nothing more than good timing.

That it’s just two people who happen to get along deciding this is probably as good as it gets.

Until Zeke Morgan.

He walks me home from the yoga classes I take like candy. He encourages me to chase my dreams of opening my own studio. He’s gentle with me when I tell him past experiences make me hesitant about getting physical.

But as he helps me achieve my dream, I become the downfall of his.

He’s spent almost a decade building his web design business, but when everything I’ve worked for is threatened, he doesn’t hesitate to put me first.

And I can’t help but feel like the girl from his past who wanted him to live a different life for the sake of her checklist. The one who forced him to choose between her and his dreams.

He used to think love wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but he’s fallen hard. For me.

So when my world comes crashing down around me the same week he has to leave for a big project, I do the only thing I can to protect myself.

I pretend I’m okay. I push him away. Insist that I’m fine.

Because the only thing worse than accepting defeat is becoming his, too.

Namaste and Code All Day is a steamy, friends-to-lovers romance featuring a German Shepherd MMC who falls first and falls hard, and a fiercely independent but scarred FMC.
