Friendship sparks the fire, but love is what could break the rules.

Liam has it all. He's a budding businessman, charming, confident, and with many dates behind him. Despite his success, a nagging restlessness sneaks up on him: A desire to settle down. In a bustling mid-sized city, he's climbing the societal ladder, but something is missing, and he can't quite figure out what, or who, that might be.

Then there's Jett, a quiet and reserved teacher who has found peace in a simpler life after escaping big city chaos. Content with his cozy routine, love is the last thing on his mind. He's happy with his solitude, at least, until Liam walks into his world.

When a mix-up brings them together, an unexpected friendship forms, a bond neither man saw coming. As they grow closer, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. Their attraction deepens, yet both are too afraid to admit their true feelings for fear of destroying the friendship.

Liam's best friend doesn't approve, despite initially warming up to Jett, and he is torn between the life he's living and the love he never expected. As the slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance ignites, he must decide whether to follow his heart or bend to pressure and forsake the happiness he's been longing for.
