Julian Ashcroft has spent his career being watched. He's never been seen — not until a woman with a yellow notebook and no interest in his fame asks him a question no one else has thought to ask.

Elena Navarro doesn't do permanence. She moves through the world on assignments she doesn't explain, for a benefactor she doesn't discuss, toward a life she's stopped expecting to keep. Attraction is a liability. Attachment is worse.

But Julian doesn't push. He waits — for her to choose him, one small permission at a time. And Elena, who has spent her life being told what to do and where to be, discovers that being asked is a different thing entirely.

Neither of them meant for one dinner to become impossible to walk away from. But some paths, once they converge, don't uncross.

Converging Paths is Book One of the Convergence Series — a slow-burn, competence-driven romance about two people who've never been allowed to be chosen, learning what it costs to let someone in.
