Until she meets an unexpected man who doesn't believe in love at all. Somehow, he falls for her in the most raw, authentic, and unexpected way-forcing her to question everything she thought she knew. Could the love she's always dreamed of compare to the love she's now experiencing? Because the love she feels with him makes her feel more than golden.
