Skyler Vaughn thought she had left the wrestling world behind.
Once a respected champion in WWE, Skyler stepped away from the ring after the sudden death of her husband, beloved superstar Adrian Vaughn.
Now a single mother of three, she's spent years rebuilding her life and protecting the small family she has left - Gideon, the quiet teenager who remembers his father all too well; Wren, the fearless dreamer determined to follow in her parents' footsteps; and little Lottie, who at now 8 years old still carries a stuffed koala her father bought before she was born.
Returning to WWE as the new SmackDown General Manager, Skyler is determined to keep her life focused on work and her kids.
But everything changes the night Cody Rhodes defeats Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Cody has known Skyler for years - back when they were both building their careers in the same locker room. Back when he admired her quietly while she built a life with someone else.
Now fate has placed them back in each other's orbit. There's just one complication.
Skyler is also his boss.
As Cody navigates life as champion and Skyler balances motherhood with running SmackDown, old feelings begin to resurface-forcing them to walk a dangerous line between professional boundaries and something much more personal.
Because sometimes the hardest story to finish... is the one written by the heart.
