Maya Gupta is calm. Focused. Unshakeable.
Top of her class, scholarship student, future Ivy Leaguer - nothing gets under her skin.
Except Carlos López.
Entitled, arrogant, and infuriatingly charming, Carlos is the rich boy who coasts through life on money and attitude. Maya has spent three years avoiding him... until a scheduling disaster lands her in the one place she can't escape: the school band - with him.
Suddenly, rehearsals become warzones.
Every interaction? A verbal sparring match.
And for the first time, Maya's perfect composure is cracking - all because of him.
But when a major band competition threatens their grades, their reputations, and Maya's scholarship, they're forced to work together - or risk losing everything.
As the music builds, so does the tension.
So the real question is:
Will Maya survive Carlos... or fall for him?
