Sean Maurice only needs two things for a month in New York:
A plus-one for his best friend's wedding, and- perhaps that's just about it.
But what happens when, after several hunts and a series of disappointing dates, the only eligible bachelor turns out to be not quite so eligible?
"This story is a reflective, character-driven romance with an ache for second chances. It captures heart touching warmth and the irony of discovering something real in the least expected places." -Haytham Maiyh.

In a bustling city, the lives of two unlikely individuals collide in a small, charming café. Michael, a wealthy, cold-hearted businessman, finds himself inexplicably drawn to this quaint establishment, where his rigid demeanor clashes with the fiery spirit of Claire, a sarcastic but well-mannered waitress from a poor family. Their initial interactions are a battlefield of sharp words and icy glares, with Michael's rudeness meeting Claire's quick wit head-on. Despite their tense encounters, Michael continues to visit the café, intrigued by Claire's ability to stand up to him. Gradually, he begins to see beyond her sharp retorts and discovers the warmth and genuine kindness that define her. Conversely, Claire starts to see the cracks in Michael's icy exterior, revealing a vulnerability and depth she hadn't expected. Fate intervenes with a series of unexpected events that force Michael and Claire to spend more time together outside the café's familiar walls. Through these shared experiences, grudging mutual respect blossoms into a burgeoning attraction. However, their growing feelings are tested by the vast chasm between their backgrounds and Michael's deep-seated fear of emotional intimacy. The story reaches its climax when a crisis compels Michael to confront his true feelings. Faced with a pivotal choice, he must decide whether to maintain his cold, isolated existence or to embrace the transformative power of love and open his heart to Claire.
