(Rewritten with more mature eyes - packed with more drama and action, more romance and more murders)
Robert Faulkner, a charismatic charmer and misunderstood artist, thought he had it all, yet it all came crumbling down with the suicide of his high school sweetheart. Unable to write and take care of his and Nora's child, Noah, he descended into chaos. A misunderstood artist. A misunderstood killer. The I.N.I.T.I.A.L.S Killer.
Noah Faulkner found himself in foster care when his father was charged with murder. He simply wanted closure, forget his father, and find the love of his life. Yet with all attempts, it seemed he was cursed by his father's past.
Then, one day, his friend comes up with a plan: tattoo the first letters of the three girls he's loved (but lost), and use the name their initials form, L-E-A, to find the love of his life. Like his father. To break the curse. To honour the memory of the women he's lost and use it as a map to find his true soulmate. LEA.
Yet Noah is reluctant because he's not the first in his family to have used tattooed initials to find a woman. He's scared. His friend says it's the only way, but can Noah count on that? He won't end up like his father, he'll do the exact opposite. He'll change the history between his family and tattooed initials.
So what will Noah do when he meets Leah Chance? Will he pursue her? And will she be repelled that he liked her initially because of some initials, or will she stay long enough to find the reason behind them?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
