Caroline was a girl who enjoyed the simple things in life. Coffee, a good binge-watching session, a long run around the city, and finishing work at a reasonable hour. 

Adriano De Luca was not simple by any definitions of the word. He was a complicated, intelligent man who wanted nothing more than to change the past, and since time travel hasn't yet been invented, what better way than to reconnect with his childhood crush?

When Caroline's company gains the business of Adriano De Luca, the new CEO of Pharaoh Co. and her old childhood best friend, the once school nerd turned real-world genius, tries to capture the attention of the once school all-star athlete, an athlete who wants anything but a relationship. 

How far will one go to make their old friend their new lover?
