Ember lives under constant control, the daughter of a powerful businessman, trapped in a world of bodyguards, secrets, and expectations. After her mother's death and a string of forced moves, she's learned not to trust anyone. Especially not strangers who seem too perfect. Neve is charming and smart, raised to protect his uncle's empire and now, his mission is simple: get close to Ember, gain her trust, and use her to destroy her own father's company. But Ember isn't who he expected and getting close to her comes with a price neither of them is ready for. A story of betrayal, power, and forbidden love where enemies collide, and not even the truth can save them.

Always the wrong time or always the wrong person. It was impossible to love you, but impossible to run away. This is a story of trying and trying not to try. Will we someday be ready for each other?
