No Softness Allowed

Mia Rosewood is on her way up.
At twenty-five, she's part of a hit TV series now entering its third season, with her first movie role waiting just a few months ahead. The industry is finally starting to notice her - and she's doing everything she can to make sure they keep noticing. Early workouts, strict diets, flawless discipline. Every detail counts when you're building a name from scratch in a world that doesn't forgive softness.

Her life in New York is good - friends, work, a steady rhythm she's learned to live by. Until Callan Hart moves to the city.

He's her past: her childhood best friend, the boy she loved, the one who kissed someone else on prom night without realizing how much it would hurt her. Now he's a professional hockey player for the New York Rangers, and when his mother asks Mia to help him settle in, she agrees - convinced she's long over him and nothing will change.

But one night shifts everything. Old feelings resurface, boundaries blur, and a single mistake brings consequences she never expected. As she navigates ambition, friendship, and the life she's working so hard to build, Mia quickly discovers that love, temptation, and danger can arrive in the same city - and sometimes at the same time.
