*FROM THE #2 BESTSELLING ROMANCE AUTHOR*
Love is a delicate craft.
When Juniper arrives at the prestigious Royal Academy of Ceramics, shes shocked to find Aiden in her class. She and Aiden have hated each other since high school. Now, hes the most talented potter in their cohort, annoyingly arrogant and hotter than ever.
Juniper gave up trying to mould Aiden into a decent guy a long time ago. But as a casual fling, hes already perfectly formed. When they are forced to team up on a project together, the kiln isnt the only thing that heats up fast.
But as Juniper starts to see past Aidens sculpted jawline to his softer side, secrets from their past emerge which threaten to reshape everything Juniper thought she wanted. Time is running out and Juniper must decide: can she carve out space for Aiden in her future And if not, will they both walk away in one piece
