For as long as Emery Wheeler can remember, books have been her life. Even when she had no one, she had the characters in her books. They were her saving grace, and now she gets to be a small part in creating that for someone else. She takes her job so seriously that not even her best friends can get her to relax.

When she met Luke Alexander, he was nothing more than her annoying neighbour but when an apartment black-out leaves them with nothing more than each other's company and bubble wrap there is no saying where it will lead.

What was only supposed to be one night, turns into more when they find themselves unable to avoid each other. While Emery tries, she can't seem to keep herself from wanting him and for the first time in her life, she finds herself wanting to relax.

you scare me, but i'm not afraid of it

you make me nervous, but i wanna stay in it

i tend to complicate and find fancy ways to say

i just want more of you

shh...don't say it by fletcher

i could tell what you're thinking 'bout

lookin' at me like, "oh wow"

it's like you drawin' hearts around my name

trust issues by liv dawson

so scared you'll break my heart

i've never been a girl who gets paranoid

got feelings that i can't avoid

wildest dreams by léon

i see myself in a different kind of light now

haunted by you, i'm haunted by all my wildest dreams

wildfire by cautious clay

your eyes are like weapons

your lips could teach lessons

don't use them so reckless

'cause for you, i'm helpless

heaven by amy allen

you've never been to heaven

but you got pretty close last night

goldrush by stela cole

and i never believed in serendipity

until you put your hands all over me

love like this by jessica andrea

you say my name, that's the best that it sounded

i never knew i could love like this

thinking 'bout love by wild rivers and wrabel

it's kinda like a light went off

and now you're dead set on givin' me up

side effects by carlie hanson

i had it all together

now you make me such a wreck

ruin my life by zara larsson

i miss you more than i thought i could

i miss you

save us by lennon stella

wherever you like, i'll go

won't leave you alone, won't leave you alone
