Soon after, she is hired outside the Seraphim Dance Academy as a private dance tutor for well known billionaire, Sebastian Bridges. Stubborn, hard-headed, pushy , and flirtatious, he proves to be a difficult student for Kaye. Yet, she can't help but be mesmerized and taken by his serious, yet charismatic nature. But when Kaye's troubled and haunting past comes back to bother her, will she bow out or dance her way to happiness?

SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
