She’s a single mom fighting to keep her head above water.
He’s a brooding CEO who hasn’t let anyone in since his wife died.
Neither of them expected the other to be the thing that changes everything.

When Emery Blake shows up on the 17th floor of one of Seattle’s top tech companies—barely holding it together, dressed in a clearance rack blazer, and desperate to prove herself—she’s not looking for anything more than a steady paycheck and a sliver of hope.

Julian Ward, the company’s emotionally unavailable CEO, has turned grief into strategy and heartache into armor. He doesn’t do distractions. He doesn’t do feelings. He especially doesn’t do small talk with the temp assistant who speaks her mind and wears her heart on her sleeve.

But from the moment Emery challenges him—without flinching—Julian finds himself pulled toward the one thing he swore he’d never touch again: feeling something.

What starts as tension grows into something deeper through hallway glances, shared silences, and unexpected moments of vulnerability. But between the ghosts of Julian’s past and the chaos of Emery’s present, neither of them knows if what they’ve found can survive in the real world.

Fragments of Us is a slow-burn, emotionally rich romance about rediscovery, resilience, and the kind of love that doesn't rescue you—it meets you in the dark and reminds you you're worthy of saving yourself.

Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Lucy Score, and readers who love their love stories full of raw emotion, layered characters, and second chances that feel earned.
