A charming second-chance romance about a young woman determined to finally embrace vulnerability -- A love letter to anyone who’s ever felt their body is a barrier to their happiness.

Emma thought her late twenties couldn’t get more complicated. But then she quit her teaching job and moved across the country—only to find herself living right below the man she tried for years to avoid.

Emma hasn’t seen Harrison since an explosive fight ended their college friendship and eliminated the possibility of anything more ever happening between them. Now that his apartment is right above hers, Emma is privy to every detail of his active (and noisy) dating life. She knows she has only herself to blame for their estrangement: her inability to be honest with Harrison drove him away. It’s clear he’s moved on; why can’t she?

Presented with an opportunity to reignite the long-smoldering flames of their relationship, Emma realizes that to seize the moment, she will have to finally face the women's health condition holding her back from intimacy and truly open up. But can she let her desires overcome the resistance in her mind and body?

Funny and tender, Thighs Wide Shut is an all-too-relatable story of how terrifying—and freeing—it is when we let our hearts take charge. 


**Early Praise for THIGHS WIDE SHUT**
"Hayley Fleming has such a fresh, fun voice and is sure to become an auto-buy author for romance fans after they read THIGHS WIDE SHUT. (I mean, that title alone!) I was really blown away by how Hayley balances vulnerability with humor to create two characters who I rooted for separately and who I desperately wanted to get together. Friends to lovers, second chances, and all the pining that happens when you connect with someone in a formative time of your life and then have to figure out how to make it last when you find your way back to each other years later. I loved it!!" –Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings
