Affaire: A romantic or passionate attachment typically of limited duration. A matter occasioning public anxiety, controversy, or scandal. Macie Quin had started a new job. She had graduated college. Things were looking good. Until she realized that the man funding the research at the new hospital was none other than her Best Friend's estranged brother. She should hate him. She should tell him exactly what she thought of him. But what did she think of him? That he was adorable? Handsome? Rich? She had to remind herself that he had rejected Lincoln. He had told Lincoln he wanted nothing to do with him. So why, then, when Lincoln shows up unexpectedly at her new job for a lunch date, does Declan seem to have no idea who he truly is? The more the affair goes on, the more Macie realizes that Declan Andrews isn't the one keeping a secret. She is. Declan just wanted to find purpose in his new position. After his father died, he had to find an investment that actually meant something to him. So he decided to fund research at a hospital in Boston, in honor of his father. An honor his father didn't really deserve, but Declan was pulling hairs, as the saying goes. He had only expected to stay in Boston for a couple of weeks at the start of the project, but something changed. He met Macie Quin. And not even her anxiety, or her stutter could stop him from falling for her. Nothing could stop it. Could it?
