Publisher Description
Fans of Emily Henry will swoon for this nerdy chemistry …
Just when Tess Greene’s life is finally almost perfect, her past springs one last surprise on her. Targeted by an internet predator whose sleazy website is known for publicly humiliating women, Tess has one month to stop his ambush before her reputation is forever ruined.
As an IT disaster recovery specialist, Tess has always handled challenges on her own, but this calls for serious geek backup.
Max Hampshire, a brilliant hacker, is exactly the lifeline Tess needs. But she’s pretty sure she doesn’t need Max himself—certainly not his quick wit, sexy black-framed glasses, or all-around sweetness. The last guy who helped Tess left with his life crushed and his heart broken, so she knows that keeping her emotional distance from Max would be safer for both of them. But safety isn’t an option when love gets involved.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this addictive contemporary, Dayton (Quick Fall) balances a deeply satisfying romance with real stakes and a realistic look at caregiver burnout. Computer security expert Tess Greene is well prepared to protect her clients from crises—but in her personal life, Tess feels like a disaster herself. She spent years caring for her younger sister and severely depressed mother before falling into a safe but stifling relationship that she blew up on what would have been her wedding day. Now, she's distanced herself from her mother and avoids relationships altogether, comfortable in her persona as a "boozy amazon." When a former one night stand threatens to post a video of his rendezvous with Tess online, Tess recruits hacker Max Hampshire to stop him. Max is hoping for steadier, less illegal work, so in exchange for helping Tess, he asks for her assistance landing a job at her firm. Their ensuing romance is sweet and convincing, and while Tess must learn to be emotionally vulnerable, it's refreshing that she doesn't have to sacrifice anything for her relationship with Max. Tess's career goals and familial relationships are just as important to the story as the romance, making for a fully developed heroine who's easy to root for. Readers won't want to put this down.
