She's waiting for him to say, "I love you," but he won't say it until he's sure he loves all of her.
After what they went through this past spring, Larisa and Quinn are starting off their official (real this time) relationship in a strange place. She's been in love with him and hiding it--along with other old secrets--for a long time. He's still a little in shock from the realization that she's the Queen, who he loves, but in real life she acts so much like someone else that he finds himself uncertain.
They both want to make it work, if not in the hope of true love, at least for their social lives, which have only gotten more complicated as Quinn's first big movie releases and Larisa continues to deal with the fallout of the revelation that she's a famous person who was almost a doctor who likes bondage.
This book is about settling in, getting to know each other, perhaps having a regular life, until Larisa's ex boyfriend steps in and makes things complicated.
