Dear Adam

"A masterclass in slow-burn tension with profound character development."— Hopeless Pluto, book blogger

He knows her secrets. She doesn't know he exists.

Disfigured, Ava Sinclair hides behind flawless performance, refusing to be defined by a small-town scandal or the face she barely recognizes in the mirror. Success might buy redemption, but healing from shame is a far harder journey.

Her second chance arrives with a revolutionary AI project—technology that could change lives. But the software isn't ready. And neither is the man who built it.

Aidan Wolfe never meant to get involved. Shielded by firewalls and grief, he impersonates his own creation to keep the investment deal alive. What begins as a temporary lie becomes an unexpected connection… and a slow-burn love that can't stay hidden.

When the truth surfaces, it won't just threaten their reputations—it could shatter the fragile bond they never intended to build.

For readers who enjoy slow-burn, emotionally intense women's fiction where love and self-discovery intertwine, Dear Adam is a character-driven story of betrayal and forgiveness, the weight of secrets, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.

"I started reading expecting a love story. What I got was a lingering heartache, wrapped in beautiful writing." - Reader Review.
