Electric Love

Separate roofs. Soft love. One summer question.

Adam is thirty, American, and still careful with the life he has built in a small river city that smells of wet concrete and fried dough. Luci is a woman who says what she thinks, keeps a black bear that smells like him, and changes the color of her nails the way other people change moods — green is still her favorite.

He offers her a place of her own: her own key, her own mornings, house rules that leave room to grow. Separate roofs as care, not control. A warm friend moves in beside her; another roommate's envy and two well-meaning friends who think he is "too good to be true" push at every soft place. Her father wants the foreigner gone. Her mother trusts Luci's knowing — if they stay careful.

Between late messages, tomato-noodle warmth, and nights that grow braver and more intimate, they build a year that is tender, funny, and deeply sensual. But Adam is hiding something. Unfinished sentences. A "not yet" that sounds like guilt. 

Electric Love is a contemporary romance novella and the sequel to Electric Blue. It can be read alone and is richer after book one. Dual POV, slow-burning trust, cross-cultural love in modern China, and a hopeful ending.
