My calls unanswered, I tried to forget her—but never could.

warning me it must be purely pretend.

I bought a one-way ticket out.

Years later, Im back in our small town, inheriting Grandma's boutique.

To save it from bankruptcy, I agree to be Ethan's PR Manager.

When the boutique's dusty attic coughs up buried treasures worth millions,

I'm pulled onto a rollercoaster ride of danger.

He wants me back and I'm caught in breathless moments of needing him too.
