UNRETOUCHED

Simone Hale spent eighteen months making the album nobody could control. She refuses to launch it with another immaculate lie. When a storm traps Simone overnight in a shuttered coastal hotel with Eli Mercer—the photographer who once saw too much and never exploited it—they have until dawn to make one honest image. Her rules are simple: no crew, no witnesses, and anything she withdraws gets deleted. But the longer the camera runs, the harder it becomes to separate the photograph she wants from the man she has wanted for eight years.
