THE SYNOPSIS
Santiago De Leon, a passionate girl who will do anything to make her dreams come true. Tia has been through a lot, but comes out on top every time. She only has one dream, to become the greatest tennis player in the world. And she will do everything in her power to make that happen. Tia had her flaws, she was distrusting, jaded and paranoid. But perhaps that was a result of her cruel childhood. Tia was trying to become a better person everyday, but she couldn't help but be affected slightly by her past. Maybe it was time to accept help in improving herself, instead of trying alone. What Tia didn't expect was to fall in love with the man trying to help her, a man she can't have.

THE PAST
Santiago De Leon grew up in Madrid. When she was four she made a bestfriend called Ana Sainz, ever since then they were inseparable, and Tia had found a second home at the Sainz' house. However, Tia stupidly fell for Anas older brother, Carlos, when she was fifteen, but it was a secret she would've taken to the grave. However, at the start of 2017, when Carlos was 22 and Tia was 19, Carlos confessed his love to her. And the pair were together for four years after that, until Tia eventually broke it off with him in August 2021. The one thing Tia didn't want, was to lose her family over her and Carlos' split, so Carlos made sure that wouldn't happen. The pair of them were civil, and friendly, but it was still slightly awkward. Carlos thought he would always love Tia, but he didn't act like it. Tia was well and truly over Carlos, but she hadn't dated anyone since, until...

THE LOVE STORY
Santiago De Leon was invited to the Monaco Grand Prix by the Sainz family, she simply couldn't refuse and so she was shopping for outfits when she ran into Pierre Gasly. Pierre was immediately infatuated, until Charles Leclerc informed him of the history between Tia and Carlos. But that wasn't going to stop him, not when he couldn't get Tia out his head. What was going to stop him, however, was Tia. Tia called him out on his shameless flirting, and insisted it came to an end. She explained how she was on a journey to better herself, and that could not be done by flirting with her exes best friend. Pierre agrees to be friends, and the pair become closer and closer until eventually a line is crossed. Where do they go from here?
