The Common Denominator

Some secrets don't just hurt. They change everything.

After a devastating accident nearly costs her life, Lacey Tremblay returns to Bishop's University with one goal: to rebuild. She keeps her world small and controlled-one semester, one teaching internship, one careful step at a time.

Then she meets Adam.

Quiet, tattooed, and impossible to read, Adam is the kind of man who notices everything but reveals nothing. What begins as late-night conversations, shared coffee, and quiet study sessions slowly deepens into something neither of them expected-and neither of them is prepared to lose.

But Adam is hiding a secret.

A truth that ties him to the worst night of Lacey's life.

When it finally comes to light, Lacey is forced to confront the past she has fought so hard to survive-and the man she has come to love. In the aftermath, she must decide whether forgiveness is possible, or if some truths are too heavy for love to carry.

The Common Denominator is a slow-burn contemporary romance about guilt, healing, and the fragile courage it takes to love again. Clean and closed-door, it is a story of two broken people discovering that sometimes, the hardest path forward is the one that leads back to each other.
