The Deepest End of Love, The Brightest Light Book 3 By Lisina Coney

Lila Callaghan has always been a rule follower, but her life takes a chaotic turn after a moment of reckless revenge—slashing her cheating ex-boyfriend’s tire—leaves her embarrassed and humiliated. To make matters worse, the one person who witnessed her lapse in judgment is Reed Abner, a hotshot professor at her university and a family friend. For the past two years, Lila has been determined to avoid him, fearing that their connection might compromise her reputation among students and faculty.

But when Lila finds herself in dire need of an internship to complete her Master’s degree, Reed offers her a golden opportunity at the youth center he oversees. Reluctantly, she accepts, knowing that working so closely with Reed will complicate her life further. As her supervisor, Reed is an exceptional mentor, but he also stirs feelings in Lila that she has fought hard to suppress.

With a twelve-year age difference and the inherent power dynamics of their positions weighing heavily on her, Lila struggles to navigate her growing attraction to Reed. As they spend more time together, the line between professional and personal begins to blur, igniting a burning desire that challenges her once steadfast principles.

Caught between her ambition and her feelings, Lila wonders if falling for Reed could be the worst mistake she ever makes—or the chance she needs to break free from her carefully constructed rules. In this steamy romance, Lila must confront her fears and decide if love is worth the risk. 📚❤️
