Elena Carter thought her life was set. She sacrificed everything to follow her high school sweetheart to Princeton, only to catch him in bed with another woman and shatter her heart, her dreams, and her sense of home in one night. Now broken and struggling to survive on scholarships and part-time jobs, Elena swears she’ll never let a man have power over her again. But loneliness is cruel, and when her friends push her to try a dating app, she stumbles across AJM, a man whose words soothe her wounds and awaken feelings she thought were gone forever. For three weeks, he is her safe place. Her secret. Her escape. Until the app glitches…and the distance changes to three meters away. Her mysterious confidant is none other than Professor Adrian Moore, the very man grading her thesis.
