When destiny decides to weave two lives together, who are we to tug the threads apart?
Mia Watson has always been the kind of girl who keeps moving, even when life tries to slow her down. A top business student with a sharp mind and a quiet resilience, she's spent years learning how to stand on her own two feet - especially as the daughter of a single mother who taught her strength through example, not speeches.
Fresh off a breakup that still stings in places she won't admit out loud, Mia is trying to stitch herself back together the only way she knows how: by staying busy, staying focused, and pretending she's already fine. She pours her energy into helping her mom, keeping her grades flawless, and building a future she can actually trust.
She tells herself she doesn't have time for distractions.
She definitely doesn't have room for mistakes.
And she absolutely has no intention of letting anyone close enough to hurt her again.
But destiny tends to laugh at plans like hers.
Because just when Mia finally feels steady again, she collides with a presence she never expected to see - someone who shifts the air the second he steps into her world. Someone tied to a past she's not ready to touch. Someone she shouldn't want, shouldn't remember, shouldn't even look at twice.
Yet there he is.
And suddenly, Mia's carefully rebuilt life doesn't feel so steady anymore.
