BETWEEN

Nadia doesn't believe in letting things go.

She believes in getting even.

If you play her once, she'll play you better.

So, when the opportunity comes wrapped in a "perfectly reasonable arrangement," she steps in with a plan-and no intention of staying longer than necessary.

Sunoo isn't a complication.

He's part of the design.

Measured. Controlled. Always a step ahead-he doesn't act without a reason.

This was supposed to be simple.

No attachment.
No missteps.
No surprises.

But plans like this only work if both people follow the same rules.

And Sunoo doesn't.

Because she knows how to win.

He just doesn't lose.

And somewhere between the plan they built and the one they're rewriting-

something takes shape neither of them saw coming.

Not trust.
Not safety.

Something that doesn't follow rules.

Something that doesn't end clean.

Something in between.
