    Summary

    For librarian Lottie “Rook” Ingellvar, the pandemic was not the only darkness that swept over her life in 2020. An act of unbelievable betrayal and violence has left her numb as the world begins to thaw and life returns to normal. Struggling with equilibrium, her boss in special collections proposes to relieve her of her usual duties and set her up with a more flexible job - assisting a professor in his research.

    In the distinguished, older Professor Volkarin, Rook finds a stability she’s never known and an easy charm that soon develops into a roiling, back-breaking crush that threatens to upend the careful walls she’s erected around her heart and body.
