Tiga tahun tak pernah disentuh suami, tubuh Runa mati rasa. Hingga malam itu di bus kota, tubuhnya terdesak pria asing. Sentuhan liar merayap di balik rok, membangkitkan panas yang lama terkubur.

He’s powerful. Unshakable. Untouchable… until she returns. Evan Ramos commands the courtroom and the city’s most prestigious law firm, but behind the polished suit and iron reputation is a man undone by grief and longing. Widowed, weary, and raising a young daughter, he has never stopped carrying the weight of a past love. Liana Cruz never meant to come back - returns to town for a funeral, sparks ignite that neither can ignore, not after the night that tore her heart apart, not after she left him for the sake of her sister. But fate has other plans. Drawn back into Evan’s orbit, she finds herself face-to-face with the man she once loved and whose touch still makes her pulse race. As legal battles pit them against each other, as stolen moments and lingering glances spark with undeniable chemistry, Evan and Liana are forced to confront the desire, guilt, and passion that refuses to stay buried. With a rival firm watching, a colleague quietly coveting her, and a past that won’t let go, the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore. Will they let the past destroy them, or will they risk everything to finally give in to the fire that has always simmered between them?
