   Summary

   Bea is living a happy life three years post-divorce from her abusive ex-husband. Spending her days working as a stylist at a shop she practically runs, hanging out with her daughter, and having friends for the first time in her life. A normal stop at her favorite coffee shop after work turns anything but normal when she meets a new, blonde barista who makes her attraction to Bea very known. Will Bea finally take the leap and explore the way the blonde makes her feel, or will her past stop her from letting love in?
