Dear Adam

Ava Sinclair knows how to put on a perfect performance. Behind her fragile veneer of confidence is a woman haunted by the past—a small-town scandal, and a face she no longer recognizes in the mirror. Success might give her a second chance. But redemption love stories are never easy, and healing from trauma and shame is harder to earn.
Her big break comes when she convinces her VC firm to back a revolutionary AI… an investment that could change her future, if only she can keep her inner scars from surfacing.
Aidan Wolfe never meant to get involved. Hiding behind firewalls and anonymity suits him just fine—until Ava logs in. To preserve the deal, he pretends to be the AI she believes in, just long enough to buy time to fix it.
But what starts as a lie becomes an unexpected connection that forces them both to confront the truths they’ve been hiding.
And when those truths finally surface, it won’t just threaten their reputations—it could wreck the fragile trust they never meant to build.
With the intimacy of You’ve Got Mail and the emotional depth of Jojo Moyes and Taylor Jenkins Reid, Dear Adam is a literary love story built on secrets and consequences, perfect for fans of book club fiction and contemporary romance that cuts deeper than happily-ever-after.
“I started reading expecting a love story. What I got was a lingering heartache, wrapped in beautiful writing.”
