Becoming More Than Us (The Becoming, #1)

Alina Blackroot has it all: success, the homes of her dreams, and a strong sense of self. After a marriage that cost her more than it gave, she has no intention of losing herself to love again. Then she meets Luca Rispoli, a dangerously confident philosophy professor whose quiet gestures and steady pursuit make it harder and harder to guard her heart.

Luca is all or nothing. What begins with an order he can’t ignore and an attraction to a curious stranger quickly becomes an all consuming passion. But as their summer together comes to an end, distance, family, past traumas, and misunderstandings threaten to fracture what they have built. Alina fears that loving Luca will cost her the independence she fought so hard to reclaim, while Luca struggles to relinquish the control he has always relied on.

As they find their way back to each other, they must decide if love is worth rebuilding and whether two people can create a life together without losing themselves along the way.

Becoming More Than Us is an emotionally intense, sensual romance about love, independence, and learning how to become more than the people they were before.
