Lilith Hawthrone is a 20 year old psychology student with a complicated heart and more issues than she likes to admit. She feels too much, thinks too hard, and often drowns in the weight of her own empathy. She's curious, emotionally intense, and carries unresolved wounds especially the kind only a mother can leave behind. Valentina Salvatore is a 30 year old CEO. She's mastered control in every aspect of her life, her sharp mind cutting through complexity to build an empire. Beneath the polished exterior, however, is a woman who loves obsessively but is careful with her love, not wanting to waste it on the wrong person. She's learned to guard her heart, waiting for someone worthy of the intensity she's capable of. Where Lilith is all feelings and chaos, Valentina is order, control, and calculated precision. They come from different worlds, with different rhythms, but what if that's exactly why they fit?

Esra Campbell, una profesora de literatura conocida por su carácter frío y reservado, ha pasado años manteniendo a raya cualquier lazo emocional fuera de su círculo más cercano. Para ella, el control y la distancia son escudos necesarios. Abbie Graham, en cambio, es impulsiva, audaz y sin miedo a demostrar lo que siente. Desde el primer instante en que ve a Esra, la atracción es innegable. Lo que comienza como un juego de insinuaciones descaradas toma un giro inesperado cuando, por cuestiones del destino, Abbie termina cuidando de la hija de Esra. Ahora, sus encuentros ya no pueden evitarse. Entre conversaciones inesperadas, miradas sostenidas y una cercanía que desafía las barreras de Esra, ambas comienzan a descubrir que detrás de la provocación de Abbie hay sinceridad, y detrás de la frialdad de Esra, un corazón que aún puede ser alcanzado. Pero, ¿se atreverá Esra a romper sus propias reglas? ¿O el miedo al qué dirán la mantendrá atrapada en la distancia que siempre ha impuesto?
