Back home. A fresh new start. Dedicated ballerina who never had faith in love to begin with. A chance at Love and to Hope... 

Seventeen-year-old Annika is a boarding school student with a passion for ballet, but as a black ballerina, she's had her share of setbacks. She travels back home for her father's funeral where she is forced to reckon with her past and present while reconnecting with her estranged stepfamily. She's hoping that a trip off the coast of South Africa to the country Sengula, and a couple of months away from her life in boarding school, might help her figure out how she can move forward and be happy.

Spencer Van Lêuen is a confirmed bachelor and known playboy entrepreneur. Spencer whose lost faith in love is struggling to face the demons of his past that keeps him from anything more than casual relationships and one-night stands. 

While on a journey in discovering who she is it's taken Annika years to get to this point, but a meeting at the masquerade gala leads her to meet Spencer Van Lêuen , Billionaire heir to the country's largest producer and distributor of Sengulan wines.

When they fall into each other's arms, change is inevitable... just not the change they were expecting. When his past and her identity are revealed, is there any chance for them to open their heart up to Love-and to Hope?All Rights Reserved
