Jamie Garrison didn't move to Boston looking for love. Fresh off a painful divorce, she's focused on proving herself in a newsroom that still feels new beneath her feet. Reporting is safer than trusting her heart again - or so she tells herself.
Erin Calhoun prefers safe, too. As the Boston Police Department's public information officer, she keeps her world orderly, controlled and carefully walled off. Reporters are supposed to stay on the other side of those walls... especially the ones who make her want things she's spent years avoiding.
But the more Jamie and Erin cross paths, the harder it is to ignore the connection forming between them - in small conversations, quiet understanding and sparks neither of them planned for.
When a case puts Erin under scrutiny, one misstep fractures the fragile trust growing between them. Feelings get tangled. Distance hurts more than either expected. And the future they hadn't dared to imagine suddenly feels impossible.
What follows isn't about the case - it's about whether two guarded women can take the risk of letting each other in.
On a Deadline is a slow-burn sapphic romance about timing, vulnerability and learning to choose love even when it scares you.
