Lucy, an introverted college student, left her troubled past with hope for the future. But soon, she finds old wounds can still bleed, taking away the little bit of spirit she has left. When a powerful company threatens to bulldoze her home and the small unhoused community she looks after, Lucy refuses to crumble in defeat. She enlists the help of a friend, who has one condition-work for Lucy's nemesis. Marco, an ambitious real estate developer, knows the price of desire. As he tries to right the wrongs of his past, he becomes tenacious in his agenda. The last thing he wants is a relationship, but when he comes face-to-face with his best friend's stubborn sister, he doesn't know what to make of her. And he certainly doesn't understand her frustrating ability to shut him out while she lets everyone else in. Sparks fly as they both fight against the pull of passion. But after they've been hurt in the past, can they learn to trust again? And could that trust build into something bigger?
