About This Audiobook
Luna Allen carries a past she keeps carefully guarded, but she's built a life she's proud of — close sisters, loyal friends, and a job at an auto body shop that gives her purpose. When her guarded world starts to intersect with her boss, a man known more for his gruff demeanor than his warmth, the boundaries between professional and personal begin to blur. Mariana Zapata's signature slow-burn style unfolds with patience, letting the tension between Luna and her employer build through small, loaded moments rather than grand declarations.
Callie Dalton and Gomez Pugh bring a dual-narrator performance that deepens the push and pull at the heart of the story. Dalton captures Luna's resilience and quiet vulnerability with a warmth that makes her immediately likable, while Pugh delivers the kind of restrained intensity that suits a hero who reveals himself in actions rather than words. At over twenty hours, the pacing rewards listeners who enjoy settling into a romance that earns every emotional payoff.
