In a rain-soaked night, Daisy Smith's world shatters as she discovers her boyfriend's betrayal. Heartbroken and lost, she stumbles upon a shocking scene: Xavier Nights, a stranger, a truck accident, what appears to be a deliberate and on purpose accident. Driven by instinct, Daisy saves him, but the encounter leaves Xavier with no memory of that night, only haunting fragments of grey gorgeous eyes and a gentle voice. Two months since that accident happened, xavier is consumed by the need to find the woman who saved him, the mysterious owner of those eyes and that voice that fill his dreams. The one he got obsessed with but he didn't know how obsessed he was... maybe love?
Fate, however, has a beautiful twist in store. When Xavier finally locates Daisy, their reunion is far from the fairytale he imagined. He discovers she's entangled in a web of his own life-her ex-boyfriend, the man who betrayed her, works at Xavier's company, and shockingly, the woman Rhys thompson cheated with is Xavier's own (forced) fiancée maria willson. Now, Xavier faces a heart-wrenching dilemma: protect the woman who saved him, or uphold the life he thought he wanted.
Xavier nights is also going through a disease that wants nothing but love and comfort that he couldn't have since his childhood. When he saw daisy again, to him she is like a ray of light, only source of love and comfort to his anxiety attacks.
"Stand By Me" is a slow-burn romance that weaves together tragedy, destiny, and the gentle warmth of true connection. As Xavier and Daisy navigate a world of hidden agendas and painful revelations, their journey from strangers to lovers is a roller coaster of emotions, proving that even in the darkest storms, love can blossom and heal the deepest wounds.

When their worlds collide, neither of them is ready for the slow, consuming burn that begins to smolder between them. In the hushed corners of the midnight café and stolen glances across rain-soaked city streets, a fragile trust begins to form, built on whispered fears and the simple touch of a hand that says, I see you.

Can you be soft with someone when the world has always told you to be hard? This is their story.
