Marina Robinson has spent twenty years putting the world's most vulnerable people before herself — and she's running out of reasons not to walk away from all of it.
Taber Ross has made a career out of making people laugh at the truth, but the one thing he can't joke his way through is wanting a woman who doesn't know how to want anything for herself.
When they meet at a charity event in New York, the pull between them is immediate and inconvenient — she's guarded, he's certain, and neither of them has time for what's happening. What follows is a slow unraveling and a question neither of them can outrun: is it possible to build a life with someone when you're still figuring out if you deserve one?
Smitten is Book 1 of three books in The Shook Series.

I heard someone say that if you read the first page of a book it should make you want to turn to the next page, right? I started reading...it's definitely making me want to know more.
