Publisher's Synopsis
Emilia has built a cozy life for herself as an exercise instructor. Life in the city suits her and she has no interest in complicating it with affairs of the heart, especially since this awkward girl has not had much luck in that department.
Love is a game Emilia is not interested in playing at the moment but her resolve gets put to the test when the feisty dark-haired student, Mae walks into her class. Out of the closet and burned in the past due to her interest in other women, Emilia tries to smother her desire with a professional veneer.
Ever cautious, the woman is unsure when Mae asks her out on a date but the attraction is strong between the women and she just cannot say no. The flame between the opposites ignites into a full-blown fire as Mae breaks through the walls that Emilia has built around her heart.
But their love gets put to the test when Emilia introduces Mae to her family. Emilia gets the shock of her life when she finds out her mother has been hiding a scandalous secret. A victim of prejudice because of her orientation, Emilia questions all that she has known when she learns that her mother has been hiding an unexpected new love interest. Will both romances survive a weekend at Emilia's childhood home? Will Emilia realize that love is a risk worth taking another chance on?
