As Ever

Sorcha Carmody owns 365 satin gloves.

Living with contamination focused obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Sorcha battles her way to recovery in her own ways, whether it be opening doors with her elbows or carrying around her own coffee creamer--and whether it means keeping it a secret from everyone in her life.

Working as a reporter at the Adoration Times, a newspaper solely focused on weddings and love, Sorcha has become disillusioned with the romantic complex after her latest breakup. To make matters worse, Adoration is transferring ownership over to the brooding CEO Dmitri Darlington. When Dmitri offers Sorcha a promotion in exchange for teaching him her reporter ways, she has no choice but to say yes. Sorcha concocts a plan to make Dmitri fall in love to ease his irritable temperament.

Just as Sorcha bargains for Dmitri to move into an apartment with her for her plans to unfold, she is sent on assignment to a destination wedding in Monterey, California by her boss---and forced to bring Dmitri along. With nowhere to run, Sorcha is finally forced to confront her OCD fears...with a person she'd never expect. Even amidst her matchmaking and attempt to save the newspaper, Sorcha can't help but begin to understand the shy Dmitri, realizing he is not as awful as his reputation makes him seem, and perhaps it is time to write a new headline for her own life...and his. Yet, the more she begins to know him, she can't help but wonder, will he stay once he learns the reason behind the satin gloves? Or will he run because of his own secrets?
