Perfect Pursuit

She took a job for survival.
She just never expected her fantasy crush to become her next caller.

Fallon Brookes always believed love should have no limits—family, friends, even the harmless fantasy she’s carried for years for Ethan Kensington, her best friend’s older uncle. After high school, he gave her one rule: Call me if you ever need help.

Ethan has always been just a text away for Fallon—watchful, steady, and fighting feelings he has no business having. The age difference troubles him. The impact to his family haunts him. But one night, the tension between them finally snaps, and years of restraint dissolve into something neither of them can take back.

Then Fallon’s world implodes.

Fallon, mature beyond her years, has never relied on anyone. The one time she wants to, she's bound by a promise so heavy it nearly breaks her. Desperate for money, she takes a position using the only commodity she knows is of value—her voice. A job designed to deliver happy endings to strangers. Anonymous. Safe. Undignified, maybe. But absolutely necessary.

She turns to the only work that can save her future, keeping the truth hidden from the man she’s beginning to love. But secrecy has a cost, and Ethan’s past makes him the worst possible person to discover the truth too soon.

Fallon never imagined any scenario where Ethan could be one of her clients. Just like he never imagined the unforgettable blonde who stole his heart would turn out to be the voice he forced to thinking about.

When the truth comes out, the fallout threatens everything they’ve built.

Now, Ethan must decide if he can accept the woman she is and the choices she made to survive. While Fallon must decide if the pursuit of love that requires forgiveness is worth the cost.
