IN WICH: Kennesey Jordan is new to Chicago. She spends her first few days there helping her brother pull off his annual Christmas event. But then she met Justice Bennett - the venue owner with the kind of calm that made noise feel safe. He didn't talk much, didn't smile often, and definitely didn't plan on catching feelings for his homeboy's little sister. Between long nights setting up lights, missed calls, and moments that lingered too long - they both started feeling something neither of them were ready for. The city's cold, the holidays are loud, and love's the last thing either of them was looking for. But sometimes, the quietest things hit the hardest.

One night. One room. Everything changed.

She was chaos itself - reckless, fearless, and impossible to ignore. He was calm, composed, and the kind of man who never let anyone see the cracks beneath his perfect exterior. Years passed, memories faded, and life pulled them apart... only to push them back together in the most unexpected way. She walks into his office, and the world they once knew crashes down around them. Old grudges flare, hurtful words linger unspoken, and every glance carries the weight of the past. He remembers every misstep. She remembers every broken promise. And somewhere between the tension, the anger, and the things left unsaid, a spark begins to grow - fragile, dangerous, and undeniable. Some fates break for a reason, but when past and present collide, even the strongest walls can crumble - and sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind refuses to forgive.... Will they be able to burn the hatred in flames and turn it into ashes or will they destroy each other in that flames......
