Under Deadlines, Over Dreams

"In the high-stakes world of deadlines and design, two opposites collide-and nothing will ever be the same."

Aaliyah Quinn has always been a dreamer, but landing a coveted job at a top design agency means it's time to prove she's more than just potential. Sweet, hardworking, and battling imposter syndrome, Aaliyah is determined to support her younger sister's dreams, even if it means enduring the wrath of Rafael Kane-the agency's brilliant but infuriatingly rude creative director.

Rafael Kane is a perfectionist with no patience for mistakes-or emotions. Burdened by career burnout and a past he'd rather forget, Rafael expects nothing but excellence from his team, especially the overly optimistic new hire who keeps challenging his rules.

When late-night projects turn into unexpected conversations, and professional clashes spark undeniable chemistry, Aaliyah and Rafael find themselves walking a fine line between ambition and attraction. But can two people chasing their own dreams learn to build something together?

A story of love, growth, and the courage to dream big-because sometimes, the toughest deadlines are the ones we set for our hearts.
