In a world where love has been elusive and trust is a foreign concept, two souls find each other in the quiet corners of their own pain. She's a woman whose heart has been bruised by the weight of past trauma, never truly loved or understood, and he's a man who has built walls around his heart, afraid to let anyone in.
When they meet online, neither expects anything beyond fleeting moments of connection. But as they share their stories and their brokenness, something unexpected begins to bloom-a raw, tender love that doesn't seek perfection but embraces each flaw.
As they navigate their individual wounds, their relationship is tested by their fear of vulnerability. With each step forward, they are forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts and the walls they've built to protect themselves. But as trust deepens and they take small, steady steps toward healing, they realize that maybe, just maybe, love can be the thing that helps them both find peace-not by fixing what's broken, but by learning to embrace what's real.
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?
