Alex, a diligent young American student in college, always maintains his 4.0 GPA despite the hectic amount of homework his professors always throw at them. He is always seen as reliable, smart, serious, and very professional, but under all that, is an unhinged bastard that always only shows when he's with friends...or reading 18+ novels.
The Novel he was currently reading was an 18+ model, the usual female lead, villainess, and multiple male leads, one of which catches his eye because he was a "hidden gem" in his eyes. Said character was the least successful on his courtship of the female lead, perhaps because he was two years younger and average looking in their eyes...Alex liked the character because he saw he was handsome underneath, but he did not know how to take care of himself which infuriated him, coupled with the fact the female lead chose the usual crown prince when there were other better options!
And it seems like the Universe had its way to apologize to him by getting him hit by a truck and reincarnating into the novel as the same character! No more fooling around, screw the female lead!
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
