Two guarded hearts find unexpected love, only to face the toughest decision of their lives just as they're ready to let each other in.
As a known influencer, 26-year-old Essence Miller has learnt to build a facade to protect herself from the world. Fake smiles, white lies, and drunken nights become her reality. But after years of enduring her manager's abuse, she decides enough is enough-and leaves his manipulative grasp. With her career now in her hands, Essence is determined to prevent her world from shattering again.
Putting his daughter, Faith, first has always been a priority for 27-year-old Aaron Mayers as a single father. Love is the furthest thing from his mind, with no room for anything or anyone. Between his demanding job and raising his young daughter, he's always done whatever it takes to give her the best life possible.
However, everything changes when Essence and Aaron cross paths.
Suddenly, the idea of finding love doesn't seem too bad to Aaron. Despite his reluctance to open up, Essence's warmth and authenticity draws him in, and he lets down the walls he's kept built around his heart.
As their connection deepens, the two find comfort and strength in their growing relationship, but just as they both believe in second chances, unexpected changes threaten to pull them apart.
Although Aaron will keep his heart open to Essence, she is hesitant to let herself feel the emotions she vowed to never feel again. Will she be willing to accept them?
And if she does-will it be too late?
