Signs of Love

She learned early to take up as little space as possible. He's about to teach her a different lesson.

Sonia Serrano doesn't do vulnerable. Growing up bouncing between foster placements taught her exactly one rule: make yourself small enough and maybe they'll keep you. It never worked, but it's all she knew. Besides, she's built a good life in DC on her own terms. Her own business, her own townhouse, her own rules...and she doesn't plan on handing anyone the power to take it away.

Wendell isn't trying to take anything. He's an anime-loving, dog-dad with tattoos she doesn't recognize and eyes that stay trained on hers. He's patient in a way nobody in her life has ever been. He's also nowhere near as soft as she thought, not when it counts.

The closer he gets, the harder her instincts fight to keep him out. So when the fear wins, and she pushes him away, she doesn't just lose an amazing man. She loses the first person who ever made staying feel safer than running.

Now she has to decide if she's brave enough to go after what she wants, or if she's going to let the scared little girl inside her win one more time.

Signs of Love: Taurus is a steamy, slow-burn romance full of banter, found family, and a hero who knows exactly what he wants.

Book four in the DMV set of the Signs of Love series. Can be read as a standalone.
