Jade thought she'd already survived the worst of it. Six years after burying the fiancé, she has rebuilt a life she's proud of: a home in the Atlanta suburbs, a career in law, and a bright, fearless son named Blue who calls her strong before she even feels it. Then a chance encounter in Cartagena hands her a man who fits like he was made to be found — Ian Towns, magnetic, spiritually fluent, and present in every way the ones before him weren't.
 
But nothing about Ian is chance.
 
Back home, Jade and a trusted coworker start pulling at a thread inside her own law firm — a settlement-skimming scheme bleeding the place dry. The closer they get, the more dangerous the ground beneath her becomes. Meanwhile, the fairy tale she let herself believe in starts to fray and a silence that grows louder than anything he's ever said to her. The closer Jade gets to the truth, the less she recognizes the life she thought she'd chosen, and the less certain she is who around her can be trusted. 
 
Love Struck is a sensual, suspenseful novel about the masks people wear for love, the red flags we romanticize, and the quiet cost of believing someone into being who we need them to be. Told through gratitude journaling, late-night text threads, and the glass doors that keep appearing at every turning point of Jade's life, it's for readers who want their romance with real stakes attached — heat that never forgets consequence, and a heroine who already knows how to build herself back from nothing.
 
Braiding an explicit adult love story with a white-collar crime thriller and one woman's hard-won return to herself, Love Struck is from author Atahsia — a story about learning yourself first, so no one else's version of you can pass as the truth.
