Dhatu Bhanurasmi (24) mencintai pekerjaannya sebagai copywriter layaknya ia mencintai aktivitas  rebahan di akhir pekan. Apa pun tentang menulis, ia senang melakukannya. Bahkan di sela-sela akhir pekan dan rebahan pun ia menulis. Novel romansa menjadi titik dari perjalanannya menjadi seorang penulis buku yang dikenal karena pengharapan dan cinta yang ia sebarkan. Namun, menjadi full-time writer bukan cita-citanya. Cita-citanya adalah punya uang banyak dan hidup bahagia.

Sama dengan cita-cita cintanya. Ia ingin hidup bahagia bersama pria yang ia cintai. Namun dalam hal mencintai, tak pernah semudah membalikkan bakwan di wajan. Ya, walau sulit juga sih kalau bakwannya lengket terus minyaknya terciprat ke wajah. 

Bukan masalah soal kriteria, tapi tentang siapa yang mencintai dirinya. Yang pasti, Dhatu hanya ingin bersama pria yang ia cintai. Meski harus merahasiakan diri, meski harus memendam dalam hati, meski harus menulis setiap hari, ia tetap ingin bersama yang ia cintai. Sambil berharap ada dia yang juga sama mencintainya.

Ya, dia menulis.

Ada berlembar-lembar kartu pos ia tulis untuk pria yang ia cintai. Walau tak pernah ia kirimkan dan hanya menumpuk dalam kotak di samping kamarnya yang temaram. Namun hatinya berharap, suatu saat mampu ia sampaikan. Suatu saat, hatinya tak ragu untuk mengungkapkan.

When Arianna marries billionaire Zach Price to save her family, she doesn't expect to fall in love with a man who'd always consider her a second choice. An unexpected turn of events brings the couple closer together, but can a marriage based on lies and deceit ever survive? ***** When Arianna's older sister, Olivia, decides to run away on the day of her wedding, Arianna is forced to take her place to save her family from ruin. But her new husband is angry, heartbroken, and seems to hate her guts. The cold, elusive billionaire Zach Price has never quite struck Arianna as the kind of man she'd want to spend her entire life with. She was more than content with her sweet, thoughtful boyfriend Noah, but when circumstances force them together, Zach and Arianna's hearts get entangled in a way she never saw coming. As the couple grows closer, they must battle the demons of their past and of the lives they left behind - especially when Olivia returns and decides she wants Zach all for herself.
