A traumatic relationship led Dahlia to pistanthrophobia - the fear of trusting others. But when she meets Nathan, she learns that sometimes letting go of your past is the only way to find your future.

                                                                      *****

Being betrayed by two people who meant the most to her, Dahlia emotionally pushes people away. Moving to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a barista and to move on from her past, she is ready to thrive in her twenties. But what she doesn't expect is to cross paths with Nathan, her childhood best friend. When her past comes to haunt her in the form of a petty revenge, her only sanctuary could be Nathan. It might finally be the time to overcome her fear.

As sparks fly in her world of temporary happiness, will she be able to bloom through the cracks in her soul when she's wilted in every way possible?

In a world where art and technology collide, two lives are bound by secrets, danger, and and undeniable connection. She is the nation's most beloved artist, her work capturing the hearts of millions. Her paintings, rich with emotion and hidden meanings, speak to the soul of a country. To the outside world, she is the epitome of success. But behind the brushstrokes lies a woman haunted by her past, wrestling with demons no one else can see. Except for him. He is a ghost in the system, a security expert. As a hacker, he can breach any firewall, uncover any secret, and protect what others can't even see coming. His world is one of codes, surveillance, and calculated risks-a place where vulnerability is a weakness and trust is hard-earned. But beneath his stoic exterior is a man who's been watching over her from a distance, drawn to the woman who is his sister's best friend. He is the one person who sees through her public persona, recognizing the fears and desires that lie beneath the surface. As danger looms on the horizon, threatening to unravel the lives they have carefully constructed, they will be drawn together in ways neither could have anticipated. In a world where trust is a luxury and loyalty is tested at every turn, they will discover that sometimes the most powerful force is the one that lies just beneath the surface-LOVE.
