falling for him wasn't falling at all . it was walking into a house and suddenly knowing you're home .

Lyra Jane Occuro doesn't do feelings.
Not after the divorce. Not while raising her daughter.
And definitely not when the world knows her as the brilliant, emotionally unavailable offshore engineer.

But then comes Johnny Suh - K-pop idol, ocean advocate, and someone she once feels like comfort after a little too much champagne at a UNICEF gala.

When a scandal erupts from that night, Lyra finds herself caught in a PR storm - and suddenly, fake-dating Johnny becomes the easiest solution.
Until her mother demands a wedding.
Until pretending starts to feel like something else.
Until it's not just a contract anymore.

He falls first.
She falls harder.
And when the waves finally crash, they'll have to decide what's worth saving - pride, or love.
