This book was absolutely lovely. Ali is an up and coming cook, a baker, about to start her own show. But her loft, where the show will be filmed, has been vandalized. Her brother Flynn, is on the police force and assigns a temporary consultant, Gabe, to the case. Ali is a strong, independent woman who doesn't immediately connect the little things she's been experiencing to the vandalism. There was the car door knocking her off her bike and a bunch of little things like that that Gabe uncovers, bit by bit seeing an escalating pattern. Also bit by bit, Ali and Gabe develop a relationship with potential to be rather unprofessional for cop Gabe.
As it turns out, someone is out to get Ali and while the person responsible for the vandalism is in jail, there is a bombing. And on and on. The relationship develops, the violence escalates until Ali faints trying to perform a specific sex act and the lid is off her childhood secret. As a young girl, she was abused by a family friend and priest. Though she's been in therapy, there are still remnants from the abuse. Her abuser is the perpetrator in a case Gabe is working on. That reality troubles Ali's relationship with Gabe.
How this all goes on is the meat of the book. Sufficient to day, and maybe a bit of spoiler, there is a sweetness to the Ali and Gabe love, but also with how they relate to their families.
This is one of those books that had me sighing with the loveliness at the end.
