Helena Alton accepts a summer position at Wetherbrook Hall, expecting only to maintain the discipline of her student and the structure of her days. But she quickly draws the attention of Reginald Sutton: eccentric, wealthy and far too used to getting what he wants. What begins as pursuit and quiet opposition soon sharpens into a psychological dance of control, restraint and unspoken obsession. Reginald orchestrates a game that shifts the very walls of the house to bring her closer.

A gentle love story about two quiet hearts learning how to trust again. Lila Hart runs a small flower shop where she builds beauty from fragile things. She's used to being overlooked, used to giving more than she receives - until the day Rowan Hale walks in. Rowan, a recently divorced piano teacher, carries a quiet sadness he tries hard to hide. But something about Lila's warmth draws him back, again and again, until their visits turn into long conversations, late-night phone calls, soft touches, and a connection neither expected. As seasons change, so do they. He teaches her that she deserves to be chosen. She teaches him that he doesn't have to carry his loneliness alone. This is a slow-burn, soft and tender romance filled with small gestures, unspoken longing, and the kind of intimacy that grows not from heat, but from trust. A love story that blooms slowly... but beautifully.
