~She was just a responsibility handed to Ace by his best friend.
A burden.
An extra headache he didn't ask for.
She was supposed to mean nothing.
So why does his eyes betray him, always searching for her smile?
He's disciplined.
He likes everything in order and in place.
Then why does he allow her to mess up his life?
When 19 year old Nara, a girl with smiles and big dreams, moves abroad for her American college life, she doesn't expect to cross paths with someone like Ace. 25 years old, distant, and frustratingly unreadable.
What begins as polite indifference turns into something neither can ignore, stolen glances, lingering tension, and a dangerous pull that both of them are trying deny.
He tells himself she's off-limits. She tells herself he doesn't care. But love doesn't listen to reason, and when their worlds collide, nothing stays in order.~
