Summary
The pain in her chest becoming unbearable.
The image of Carla’s tear stained face wedged behind her eyelids like a cruel joke.
She leans up against the cold hard wall outside.
The cool air slapping her face like a much needed reprieve from whatever the fuck that was inside.
Her body doubled over, the palms of her hands resting on her thighs trying to somehow ground herself.
Her breathing is heavy and shallow.
The first signs of a panic attack rising through her body with speed.
Tears threaten to spill from her eyes.
What the fuck just happened?
Carla kissed her.
Carla fucking kissed her.

Carla Connor is haunted by the trauma of an abusive past relationship with Cate Henri whose name resurfaces when DS Lisa Swain arrives to investigate Cate’s connection to a possible murder and disappearance case. As Carla is forced to confront painful memories of coercive control, isolation, and emotional abuse through a series of flashbacks, Lisa’s calm and compassionate presence gradually becomes a source of safety and stability in her otherwise chaotic world.
While helping the investigation, Carla begins forming an intense emotional connection with Lisa, who sees beyond her guarded exterior, and after Lisa rescues a drunken, emotionally overwhelmed Carla and takes her home, it becomes clear that their bond may become the lifeline Carla desperately needs.

Summary
Lisa’s mum is dying, and she has one last wish: to see her daughter happy and in love. What starts as a harmless favour between friends turns into a full-scale performance, complete with convincing their families, their friends, and everyone else in their orbit that the relationship is real. It should be easy. After all, they’re only pretending.
Falling for each other? That’s definitely not part of the plan.
