Emma Brice has mastered the art of pleasing everyone, but her looming graduation sets her normally tranquil mind spiraling. Where she'd once been content with her steady boyfriend and devoted to meeting her parents' expectations, a chance encounter with a captivating transfer student from Ireland pulls the thread that starts to unravel her meticulously ordered world.
As friendship blossoms between Emma and Declan, their unexpected connection sets her on a collision course with her future plans. With each stolen moment, the line between friendship and something more blurs, and Emma must decide what she's willing to risk to be true to herself.
Caught between loyalty and longing, Emma grapples with the fear of disappointing those she loves or losing herself. Will she find the courage to follow her heart, or will the weight of her secrets crush the bond she needs most?
