"They say falling in love is easy..."

But what happens when it hits you like a storm - sudden, fierce, and impossible to walk away from?

Zarina, sweet, sheltered, and hopelessly romantic, believed love would feel like magic. 

Nickolai, on the other hand, had love down to a science - playful smirks, no strings, no regrets.

She's never been kissed. 

He's kissed too many.

But when their worlds collide, sparks fly in all the wrong and right directions. 

Zarina wasn't ready for someone like Nickolai. And Nickolai wasn't expecting her to be the one thing he never knew he needed.

But love doesn't wait for perfect timing... 

Because sometimes, the ones that lead you home are the hardest falls.
