SYNOPSIS:
What is love? A chance meeting at the hospital is the start of an unexpected friendship between a charismatic young lawyer and quiet med student Grace Madison. For her, it was a tangled and complicated introduction to love. Grace's heart was broken when Duval, oblivious to her feelings, fell for her beloved older sister Elizabeth instead. When tragedy unexpectedly falls and Elizabeth is taken from them, Grace is shattered by the loss. It's not until she receives a wedding invitation from Duval many years later, that she realizes her life has been frozen in limbo. Determined to finally find closure and truly move on, she decides to attend the wedding.

Grace's plan is disrupted when she meets Adrian Roussiard; a fascinating and brilliant man with an enigmatic agenda of his own, he is the black sheep younger brother of Duval. Mercurial and complex, alternately blunt and charming, he seems to delight in nothing more than to annoy her. But haunted by dark shadows from his past, his secrets could overturn everything Grace has ever thought she knew. Drawn to each other, Adrian becomes Grace's unlikely ally as the simple quest to find closure instead becomes the catalyst to finding herself.

"Not a Flower" is a woman's journey to self-discovery with a powerful love triangle along for the ride; weaving the lives of three people who despite their outward successes are broken in some essential way.  It's about understanding the lies people tell themselves in order to move on, and what comes of living those lies.

In the heart of a bustling medical college, Tiara, a bright and ambitious first-year student, meets Robin, a charming senior whose confidence captivates her from the moment they lock eyes. What starts as an innocent introduction on a professor's birthday soon spirals into a deep, passionate romance. Tiara and Robin embark on a two-year journey filled with late-night study sessions, secret getaways, and shared dreams for the future. They experience the bliss of young love, cooking together in the hostel, exploring new places, and building a bond that seems unbreakable. But beneath the surface of their perfect love story lies a looming shadow-Robin's family, bound by tradition, has other plans for him. As the pressure of an arranged marriage weighs heavily on him, their once-unshakable relationship begins to crack. Despite their undeniable connection, Robin is forced to make a choice that tears them apart. When Robin's family arranges his marriage to another woman, Tiara is left heartbroken, unable to understand how everything fell apart after years of love. Their final goodbye is filled with tears and regret, as Tiara faces the devastating reality that love, no matter how strong, isn't always enough to conquer tradition. With her heart shattered, Tiara must find the strength to rebuild her life without Robin. She throws herself into her medical career, determined to succeed and find meaning beyond the love she lost. As Robin navigates a loveless marriage, he is haunted by memories of Tiara and the life they could have had. Filled with emotional twists, heartache, and moments of passionate romance, At First Sight: A Love That Couldn't Last is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the difficult choices we must sometimes make between the heart and family duty.
