She has rules. He has boundaries. Neither expected to fall.
Emelda Swetson has spent years building a life defined by structure, control, and careful distance. Surprises are unwelcome. Feelings are worse.
Ethan McAllister is the last man she expects to notice.
Quietly disciplined and impossible to read, Ethan keeps his distance with deliberate precision. But when workplaces place them in the same space, maintaining professional boundaries becomes harder than either of them expected.
What begins as a restrained professional connection slowly shifts into something far more dangerous-lingering conversations, unspoken tension, and moments neither of them can quite explain away.
But the past has a way of resurfacing when it's least convenient.
And when buried truths begin pressing in, Emelda is forced to confront the one thing she has spent years avoiding:
Sometimes even the strongest boundaries fail.
In Due Time is a clean, slow-burning contemporary romance filled with emotional tension, quiet intensity, mature characters, and a love story built on restraint, timing, and second chances.
