Beyond The Surface

At twenty-four years old, Y/N never imagined her life would look like this.

A single mother to one-year-old Aylin, she's spent every day fighting to build a life from the pieces left behind by a past she'd rather forget. Between endless job applications, sleepless nights, and raising her daughter alone, she's learned that survival sometimes means putting your dreams on hold.

When an unexpected opportunity lands her an interview to become the Executive Assistant to world-renowned actress and The Outset founder Scarletta Rhodes, she assumes she'll never be chosen.

Scarletta Rhodes has everything the world could dream of-an award-winning career, a successful skincare company, and a beautiful daughter, Rose. Yet behind the cameras and polished headlines is a woman carrying responsibilities that no one sees.

Neither of them expects one interview to change everything.

Over the next three years, two very different lives become intertwined through board meetings, film premieres, product launches, sleepless nights, birthday celebrations, unexpected heartbreak, and the quiet moments in between.

Sometimes healing doesn't happen all at once.

Sometimes it begins with a job offer.

And sometimes, the family you're meant to have is the one you never saw coming.

A slow-burn age-gap romance about healing, motherhood, second chances, and discovering that love can bloom in the most unexpected places.
