Lana Grace is 24 years old, stuck between a relationship that no longer feels like love and a life that no longer feels like hers. What once felt beautiful started to feel suffocating. The longer her relationship lasts, the worse it gets: distance, forced reassurance, and the exhausting effort to be the perfect version of herself. Somewhere along the way, Lana stopped being loved for who she is: emotional, outgoing, affectionate, a girl who romanticises life and fills notebooks with poetry nobody appreciates enough. But when Lana finally gets the opportunity she's been waiting for, a job at Moretti & Co. Publishing, everything changes. That means Alessia Moretti. Alessia is 33 years old, impossibly composed, and unreadable. She is the billionaire CEO of one of the world's most respected publishing companies. She's elegant, disciplined, and painfully closed off. After spending five years trapped in a marriage arranged for business, Alessia finally reclaimed her freedom when her father died. But not for love. Never for that. Love, to Alessia, is nothing more than a liability. So she buries herself in work, expensive wine and poetry that feels safer than her feelings. To Alessia, Lana should be easy to dismiss. Instead, she becomes impossible to stop thinking about. Alessia and Lana have met before. Twice. Brief enough that it should've meant nothing. But when Alessia approaches Lana again, it's different. Their connection should begin and end at work. Alessia is Lana's new boss and completely out of reach in every possible way. But through mutual friends, late nights at work, trips, and accidental moments of vulnerability, the distance between them slowly disappears. The more Lana sees past Alessia's walls, she realises the woman everyone calls cold has never been loved gently before. And when something happens, the line between fear and love becomes impossible to ignore. Some people are misunderstood. Others are simply misread.

Already a softball standout, Parker faces the thrill of new opportunities and the scrutiny of doubters who can't handle a female in the quarterback position. Amidst homophobic slurs, skepticism, and the pressures of being a teen athlete, Parker must prove not only her skill on the field but her strength off it. Her best friend and longtime crush, Emma Williams, is a straight-A student with her eyes set on Stanford.

While Parker struggles to focus on anything but Emma, neither wants to risk their friendship by confessing their feelings... until the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. As Parker navigates the challenges of high school sports, first crushes, and family dynamics, including her supportive but hardworking single mother, she must also confront what it truly means to take risks, both on the field and in her heart.
