When Our Paths Aligned

Isabelle Salazar is a meticulous assistant accounting manager by day and a driven evening law student by night. Her world is governed by numbers, case digests, and a five-year plan that leaves no room for distractions-especially not ones that wear sharp suits and quote jurisprudence like poetry.

Ray Lozada, the sharp-witted and quietly intense in-house legal counsel, has built a reputation for being unshakable, unreadable, and undeniably brilliant. When a tax audit meeting unexpectedly brings him into Isabelle's orbit, what begins as an incidental work encounter sets off a slow unraveling of boundaries, assumptions, and something dangerously close to affection.

Their story unfolds in quiet glances across the boardroom, midnight text exchanges, and study sessions filled with flirtatious restraint. As workplace projects force them into closer collaboration, tension simmers between spreadsheets and legal memos-matched only by the chaos of Isabelle's law school grind and Ray's growing inability to stay emotionally distant.

But as personal ambitions, unspoken fears, and career lines blur, Isabelle and Ray are faced with a question neither had time for:
Can two people who've meticulously planned their lives make room for something they never saw coming?

"When Our Paths Aligned" is a modern, witty, and slow-burning romance that explores ambition, vulnerability, and the quiet spaces where two people begin to fall-unexpectedly, irrevocably, and in between the lines.
