When Ivy Met Adam

A queer human rights lawyer with a shattered heart believes she’s found true love again—until a hidden past of devotion and deception threatens to break her all over again.

Ivy

I told myself I’d never let love wreck me again. I’ve been there—torn apart, left questioning everything. I had it once, back in college, with the girl I thought I’d spend forever with. And when it ended, I promised myself I wouldn’t fall like that again. But here I am, years later, still chasing connection, still pretending I don’t want something real.

And then I meet Adam.

Adam

Look at her. Ivy. My first love. I’ve always been here, watching her chase after love and lose it. I was never the right man for her—until now. When we matched on a dating app, I told myself it had to be fate. Maybe convincing her will take time, but I’ve been waiting for years. What’s a little longer?

Ivy

I don’t believe in fate. But I do believe in second chances. And maybe, just maybe, Adam is one of them. Just as I start to let my guard down, just as I start to believe in this, I find out there’s more to our story than I ever knew. Adam’s been hiding something—something that ties us together in ways I never imagined.

His devotion to me is overwhelming. So is the betrayal I feel when I learn the truth. Now I have to figure out if I can forgive him—and if he’s willing to fight for a love that was never as simple as I thought.

When Ivy Met Adam is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance about confronting the past, healing old wounds, and taking a chance on love—even when it terrifies you. Loosely inspired by the biblical story of Eve, it’s full of second chances, steamy moments, and the messy, beautiful complexities of the heart.
