"I know heaven's a thing, I go there when I touch you- honey hell is when I fight with you"

Aelia Auclair, a young woman who has crossed countries- continents- by the influence of her mother, who wanted her to become a ballerina known worldwide for her roles.

While she left the comfort of her home in France behind and decided to put every effort into her career, she found something entirely different than what she originally set out for- that something being a tall, brooding young man whom she stumbled upon one rainy night- all thanks to a small kitten in serious need of aid.

Jack Blackwell, a young man who has spent his whole life becoming too familiar with abandonment, is a complete stranger to love, in any kind of form, and only has a few people left in his life who are willing to stay.

Will she find a way to break down the walls of steel he has spent years constructing- all to keep others away- or will she become just another person in his life who ends up leaving?
