Aira Valencia Alvarez never asked for this life. She only wanted to study, laugh with her siblings, and dream like every other girl her age. But fate was cruel. The day her mother collapsed and got confined to the hospital with a brain tumor, everything changed. With her father long gone, Aira carried the world on her shoulders-three jobs, sleepless nights, and the heavy duty of keeping her family alive. School became a memory, a childhood luxury she could no longer afford. Her life was ordinary... until the night she unknowingly caught her eyes. Lilith evelynn Montclair-an heiress wrapped in silk and secrets, a woman everyone adored. She was elegance, perfection, the kind of goddess people bowed their heads to. Soft-spoken, angelic, untouchable. The world saw a woman who could never hurt even an insect. But at the masquerade party, where everyone sparkled in masks and diamonds, Lilith's gaze wandered-and lingered. It wasn't the gowns, the jewels, or the laughter that held her attention. It was a single waitress in a plain mask, moving through the crowd with tired hands and quiet strength. Lilith didn't know her name. She didn't even see her face. But there was something in her presence, something in the way her eyes carried exhaustion yet refused to break, that stirred a strange curiosity within the flawless heiress. For Aira, it was just another night of work. For Lilith... it was the beginning of questions she couldn't ignore.

Niamh Donnolly thought she had it all figured out. After years of grind, she's finally landed her dream job as a criminal defense attorney. Sure, she's back living with her parents, dodging bake sales and church invites, but she's chasing justice and crushing court dates. The only thing missing? A woman who gets her-on every level. Enter Blind Dait, the mysterious new dating app that promises real connection, not just filtered selfies and flaky first dates. With no images, no bios, and an AI that claims to know your heart better than you do, Niamh is skeptical... until one of her matches begins to feel like more than just an algorithm's guess. Dylan Thomas is a legend-Georgetown alum, named partner, and the ice queen of the courtroom. She's smart, stunning, and absolutely off-limits. At least that's what Niamh tells herself every time their paths cross. But Dylan's tired of the games, both legal and romantic, and signs up for Blind Dait in a moment of vulnerability. When the anonymous chats turn electric and the tension in real life gets harder to ignore, Niamh and Dylan are on a collision course between the courtroom and the heart. They might be each other's perfect match online... if only they can get past the sparks-and the secrets-when they meet face to face. Love is blind. The courtroom isn't.

In a town where winter never loosens its grip, Zephyrine Roy and Cassidy Coletti, known as Zeph and Cass, grow up chasing excellence on opposite sides of the ice. Zeph is a snowboarder born into legacy, loud and fearless, constantly watched and rarely understood. Cass is the town's most disciplined figure skater, driven by precision and relentless work, determined to prove she deserves every ounce of praise she earns. Though their paths are different, they share the same spotlight-and a rivalry that has followed them for years. Both girls are fighting for control over who they are meant to be. Zeph wants distance from the tension that has shaped her childhood. Cass wants to meet expectations she's carried for as long as she can remember. But resentment, comparison, and a history neither of them knows how to unpack keep them locked in opposition. When Cass starts dating Zeph's brother, avoiding each other is no longer an option. Forced into the same spaces and the same moments, the rivalry they've relied on begins to shift. Because sometimes, the person who taught you how to be cold... is the very one who starts to make the ice melt.
