For Syl Alcantara, life had always been planned down to the smallest detail. He knew who he was, what he wanted, and where his heart belonged. It took years of confusion, fear, and acceptance before he finally learned how to stand proudly in his own truth, and thankfully, his family stood beside him through it all. So he doesn't understand how one reckless night could ruin the perfectly arranged life he worked so hard to build. How could something he never planted begin to grow in the first place? And worse, why did it have to happen with Louise Azaleah Ventura... a woman who looks at families like his with nothing but prejudice in her eyes? Now tied together by a mistake neither of them can erase, Syl finds himself trapped between the life he swore was already certain... and feelings that should've never existed to begin with. Because love grew exactly where he said it wouldn't.

Marigold doesn't like loud people. Florence doesn't like the idea of being forced into anything...especially not with someone as emotionally detached as her. But when family politics push them into an arranged marriage, the two must learn to co-exist, pass their board exams, and maybe-possibly-reconsider what they thought they knew about love. He's sure of who he is. He's spent years telling himself that attraction is a fixed thing, and his heart has already chosen its shape. Then she came into his life, and that's when he knew he had to win. But love isn't always a choice, and desire doesn't ask for permission. Because love is just is. And the bloom begins anyway.
