Lisa Manoban is a struggling makeup artist in New York City. She's ready to give up on her dreams when an old friend from her past offers her a deal she cannot refuse, working beside America's sweetheart, Jennie Kim.

When Jennie Kim finds herself struggling in the dating world, she reluctantly allows her best friend, Jisoo, to step in and set her up on a blind date. Except, fate has other plans for Jennie Kim and this one time date.

In a world that never showed her kindness, Lisa-an autistic, intersex orphan who stuttered and carried the weight of endless bullying-had long stopped believing anyone could truly care. Until the day she transferred schools and locked eyes with Jennie Kim, the untouchable Queen Bee who rejected every confession and ruled the halls with effortless grace. One shout from Jennie was all it took to silence the bullies. But winning Lisa's heart? That would be the hardest fight of all. Because even as Lisa fell hopelessly in love, she kept pushing Jennie away... terrified that someone so perfect could never love someone like her.

After losing her wife, Lisa built her life around one thing, never loving again. When her father arranged her marriage to Jennie, she agreed for one reason only; her daughter, Ella, who needed a mother. Love was never a part of the deal. Jennie knew exactly what she was walking into. Lisa who was being haunted by a love she buried, a past she refuses to let go of. But when the memories begin to feel more real than the present, Jennie is forced to wonder- How do you compete with someone who's gone... but never really left? Will Lisa finally choose the life in front of her, or remain chained to a ghost from the past? Specially when that ghost walks back in. - Lisa gp!
