Synopsis

ABIGAIL-ANN ASHER New York City was supposed to be my fresh start, a chance to leave behind the ghosts of San Francisco and the insecurities that refuse to let me go. I came here to rebuild myself, to prove that I am more than my past. Then I meet him. Mikkel Suarez is powerful, magnetic, and heartbreakingly handsome. He’s everything I should avoid—yet every time he looks at me, my walls begin to crack. He makes me want to believe in something I swore I’d given up on. Love. The kind that consumes you. But trusting him feels like a risk I can’t afford. Because if I fall, I might not survive the landing. MIKKEL SUAREZ My life is built on control. Everything in its place. I never questioned what I wanted—until I saw her. Abigail is a contradiction—strong yet guarded, confident yet wounded—and I can’t stay away. She doesn’t see what I do—her brilliance, her strength, the way she lights up a room. I want to be the man who proves she’s worthy of love. But she’s not the only one afraid. There are parts of me I never let anyone see… but with her, I want to. I just have to convince her to stay before she decides she’s better off alone. Because losing her? That’s not an option
