When the heart refuses to follow the rules... or mom.
Alzar Janssen has (almost) everything: an elite family that demands perfection, a flawless future already mapped out, and a babysitter far too gorgeous for her own peace of mind. Amber Davis isn't just an artist, a rebel, and a coffee addict-she's everything Alzar has been told never to want.
What begins as a tense coexistence filled with rules-"no feelings, just paint and schedules"-spirals into an emotional roller coaster where every glance matters, every touch ignites doubt, and every secret threatens to explode. Between controlling parents, intense friendships, charming rivals, and a music career that could change everything, Alzar must choose between the life expected of her... and the life she truly desires.
Because sometimes love isn't shouted. Sometimes it's just felt.
And sometimes... it's almost like love.
