Description
Realizing your ex is nearby celebrating his engagement? Harsh. Realizing his overprotective best friend is convinced you're there to sabotage it all? Brutal. Cassie didn't mean to end up in the middle of a mess. As the project manager overseeing the launch of a family restaurant in one of Singapore's most prestigious hotels, she was supposed to be buried in logistics of schedules and designs - not blindsided by the news that her ex, Raphael, was throwing his whirlwind engagement party at a ballroom above. Jon is fiercely loyal to his best friend, Raphael, and even more determined to protect Raphael's sweet fiancée, Sandy, from the supposed scheming of Raphael's ex. At the engagement party, Jon is certain Cassie is there to stir up drama and is up to no good. But Cassie is no villain. Sick of being misunderstood, she's ready to set the record straight and reclaim her story. And when Jon's cold gaze turns into something hotter, more complicated, neither of them is ready for what unfolds: misunderstandings and buried truths. Set against the dazzling backdrop of Singapore, two people clash, only to realize their connection - messy, electric, and impossible to ignore - began long before they ever spoke. In the city's glittering, hot, whirlwind night, they're strangers but their hearts already know better.
