Brenda Bellini spent years believing that her first love had broken her forever.
Now, freshly graduated and determined never to be the naive girl who confused attention with affection again, she just wants to build her career - far away from any man capable of breaking down her defenses.
But everything changes on the night she runs from a date from her past and, unknowingly, bumps into Anthony Santoro - the reclusive actor that the whole world knows, but almost no one truly sees.
A request for help.
A makeshift lie.
A meeting that was supposed to last minutes... and echoes for months.
When they meet again, three months later, Brenda is no longer the lost student at the party, and Anthony cannot forget the woman who appeared in his life like an unexpected ray of light. Now, he needs her - professionally.
And perhaps, silently... emotionally as well.
Working side by side will mean facing contracts, secrets, barriers, and the tension growing between them like something inevitable.
Because sometimes, love doesn't happen the first time. But the second time... it changes everything.
