Caterpillars

Caterpillars is book #1 in the interconnected standalone romantic suspense series, Evolution of Us.

Caterpillars is an enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance exploring how past pains have lasting impacts, the uphill battle it can be to overcome them, and how the pursuit of love can sometimes begin our healing process. This romantic suspense novel is full of witty banter, slow-burn chemistry, and a fun group of main and supporting characters sure to span multiple novels.

Some desires never see the light of day. Until lurking obsessions force them out of the dark.

Two decades ago, Tanner's world collapsed. In the face of loss, he blamed himself, shutting everyone out in an attempt to keep them safe.

Today, maintaining those walls is getting trickier, especially when the bright and lively assistant in his office gets assigned to his security team. Avoiding her before was difficult. Now, impossible. He never expected to have to face Callie every day, and he's struggling to maintain boundaries now that she's so close to his everyday work. At every turn, she's right there, gently deconstructing his walls with each interaction.

Tanner sees glimpses of a safe future with Callie. A future he never thought he'd have-and still doesn't think he deserves.

When a prominent new client needs his team's help-and the work comes loaded with secrets and demons of its own-Tanner worries that growing close to Callie is putting her safety in jeopardy. And when an unseen threat begins closing in, his battle to heal starts slipping away from him.

After so many years without faith, Tanner has to decide if he can trust himself to protect what matters most to him, and if he waits too long, someone else might claim Callie for themselves.
