Maya fell for Ethan the moment he walked into her bookshop. Ethan was kind, loyal, and completely in love with someone else. When a marriage of convenience forces them together, Maya decides to win his heart-with warmth, laughter, and a thousand small kindnesses he never notices. She makes his coffee, learns his mother's recipes, and fills their glass house by the sea with hope. But Ethan's eyes are fixed elsewhere. Day by day, her light dims. Until one day, he finally looks up-and the woman who tried so hard is already gone. Now, winning her back will take more than a grand gesture. It will take a fight. A slow-burn romance about unrequited love, quiet heartbreak, and the long road to redemption.
