Adam Miles e Jacob Dean non potrebbero essere più diversi: Adam è quello dal carattere solare, chiacchierone, quasi senza filtri. Empatico, affettuoso, impulsivo. Jake è l’esatto opposto: taciturno, tenebroso, a tratti quasi scontroso. Adam è un tenero guerriero, Jake un temibile predatore. Sono così diversi eppure il loro legame è profondo, forgiato da un’amicizia che dura da anni, dalle donne che hanno condiviso, e dal desiderio di trovarne una che finalmente li ami entrambi, senza pregiudizi, senza condizionamenti. Poi un giorno alla Taggart/McKean si presenta Serena Brooks, una scrittrice di romance, vittima di uno stalker. Non appena i due la vedono capiscono che è lei è quella che in inglese chiamano “the one”, quella giusta, quella che aspettavano. Mentre Adam perde la testa e non vede l’ora di aprire a Serena le porte di una relazione fuori dagli schemi, di regalare un piacere mai visto a quella dolce ragazza, Jake ha decisamente il freno a mano tirato. In passato del resto è rimasto terribilmente ferito e quelle cicatrici ancora non si sono rimarginate. Anche lui è irretito da Serena, ma è certo che quella donna li farà soffrire. I due sono dei Master esperti e sanno riconoscere una sottomessa quando ne vedono una. E alla vista di Serena scatta il desiderio di cura, di ascolto, di soddisfare e realizzare ciò che Serena immagina nei suoi libri. Ma Serena non è solo una sognatrice con la testa piena di storie. È una donna che ha conosciuto il rifiuto, il dolore, la paura. E se da un lato anela a fidarsi, ad abbandonarsi, dall’altro è convinta di non essere fatta per un amore tanto travolgente. Mentre il pericolo si fa sempre più vicino e il confine tra gioco e realtà si assottiglia, Adam e Jake dovranno dimostrarle che arrendersi non significa essere deboli, ma scegliere con chi valga davvero la pena essere vulnerabili. E che a volte, per scrivere la storia più bella, bisogna viverla.
