A Heart To Be Loved is a contemporary romantic drama about two souls, shattered by betrayal, who are fatefully brought together amidst emotional chaos and a wealthy family conspiracy.
Alexandra "Alexa" Amora Highmore is a resilient baker, hiding the scars of an old wound left by her former fiancé four years prior. She'd vowed to keep her heart locked away, choosing instead to chase satisfaction in her flourishing business.
However, her professional world suddenly collides with a complicated personal one when she accepts a commission for a lavish five-tier wedding cake.
The cake is for Deniz Aslanbey, a handsome businessman who, three days before his ceremony, witnesses his fiancée, Zümra, and his best friend, Hakan, plotting a betrayal to seize his family's vast fortune. Utterly devastated and filled with rage, Deniz calls off the wedding and flees, flinging his engagement ring into the sea.
At the peak of their individual emotional wreckage, fate brings Alexa and Deniz together. Their encounter is a dramatic one on a roadside, sparked by a mutual act of kindness to rescue a dumped and injured dog.
In an instant, they realise a painful bond: they have both been utterly betrayed by the people they loved and trusted most. As Alexa is busy crafting a wedding cake that is now surplus to requirements, and as Zümra and Hakan begin to plot a scheme to win Deniz back for the money, the two strangers find in each other, a fellow campaigner, the only place where they do not have to pretend to be strong.
Can two hardened hearts dare to open themselves up to love once more, when trust is the most expensive price to pay?
