Molly Mancini is the perfect legacy child-an accomplished cheerleader living in the shadow of her parents, who met and fell in love at Golden Coast University. They've set high expectations for her, pushing her to follow in their footsteps. But beneath the confident cheerleader exterior, Molly is struggling to find her own identity and break free from her family's legacy.
John Gallo has always been the type of guy who goes after what he wants, but he's also carrying a lot of emotional baggage. Growing up with only his dad and two brothers, he's always felt the pressure to excel, especially in hockey, a sport his father pushed him into. His mother's absence and disapproval have haunted him for years, and while hockey became his escape, it's also the one thing that's kept him tethered to the expectations of others.
When they meet at a college party, things take an unexpected turn. A random boy gets too close to Molly, trying to flirt in ways that cross the line. John, stepping in to defend her, has no idea that this one action will change both of their lives. As their connection deepens, the slow burn between them heats up, and they both begin to see that maybe they're not so different after all.
Molly has to confront the pressure of being the perfect legacy kid, while John grapples with the family issues and expectations that have shaped him. Together, they learn that sometimes the hardest thing is letting go of what others want for you in order to embrace who you truly are-and who you can be together.
