Nicholas Coleridge has always lived at the edge of indulgence. Surrounded by fame, wealth, and fleeting pleasures, his life has been one of excess-envy follows his every move, but so does emptiness. He's built a reputation as a man who needs nothing and no one. But when he meets Thérèse, a quiet woman with a troubled past, his carefully crafted world begins to unravel. Drawn to her vulnerability, Nicholas embarks on a journey that forces him to confront the cracks in his own life. As their relationship deepens, he finds himself questioning what it means to truly live-and what he's willing to sacrifice in the name of love.
