When Story's wedding falls apart just weeks before the big day, she escapes to New York to reconnect with her estranged father—only to collide with Daniel Chase, a charming NYPD hostage negotiator who's absolutely convinced he can change her mind about him. Their chemistry is electric and undeniable, but there's one major problem: her father explicitly forbade Daniel from ever going near her, and Daniel's got a complicated past that makes him exactly the kind of trouble Story should avoid. What unfolds is a delicious dance of forbidden attraction as these two fight an increasingly losing battle against their feelings for each other. When secrets about her failed engagement threaten to unravel everything they've built, Story and Daniel have to decide if their connection is strong enough to weather the storm.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry, magnetic tension with R&B smoothness and indie rock edge. Think late-night confessions, forbidden desire, and electric chemistry. Sensual yet raw—deep vocals, driving beats, and smoldering intensity. Contemporary romance with explicit heat and second-chance yearning.
