Marked By Her. New Beginnings, #2

Ivy Bennett builds her life on structure, certainty, and carefully chosen words. Avery Taylor lives in ink, instinct, and chaos. They were never supposed to collide like this. When Ivy's girlfriend disappears from her life overnight, leaving behind nothing but a key and a note, Ivy is left with a silence she doesn't know how to survive. Avery answers it. With takeout, sarcasm, and a refusal to let Ivy fall apart alone, Avery becomes the one constant in a world that's suddenly unrecognisable.
But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the tension simmering beneath every glance, every touch, every almost. Because Avery has wanted Ivy for far longer than she's ever admitted. And Ivy is starting to feel something she can't file, categorise, or control. The problem?Some lines, once crossed, can't be undone.
