Julia Calloway is a 19 year old literature student. She feels more than she can handle, overthinks until it hurts, and often loses herself in the weight of her own empathy. She's emotionally intense, quietly curious, and carries wounds she rarely speaks of. Julia doesn't know how to be anything but honest with her feelings, even when they make her unravel. She's soft, but there's something wild beneath it. A desperate need to be seen and understood.

Alexandra Donahue is a 31 year old CEO -sharp, composed, and dangerously intelligent. She mastered the art of restraint. Every move she makes is deliberate, her mind a fortress built from control and careful calculation, from the way she speaks to the way she guards her heart. But beneath her control lies obsession-she doesn't fall in love often, but when she does, it's consuming. She's spent years building walls, unwilling to waste her intensity on someone who won't stay. Alexandra doesn't fall easily, but when she does, it's with terrifying devotion.

Julia leads with her heart, even when it leaves her exposed.
Alexandra keeps hers hidden, afraid of what might happen if she lets go.
Where Julia feels everything, Alexandra questions it all.
They shouldn't work-but somehow, they fit in the quiet spaces neither of them shows the world.
