Once betrayed by her first love and turned into a subject of gossip, she has spent a year and a half building walls around her heart.

What begins as playful late-night conversations and secret meetings soon grows into something far more fragile and intense. Dennis sees her in ways no one ever has—but he is also bound by fear, reputation, and a need for control that clashes with Rihanna’s free-spirited nature.
