“New York City is a place of ambition, where dreams are built as high as its towering skyscrapers and love often takes a backseat to success. For Emma Carter, a brilliant architect on the rise, her career has always been her first love. Designing buildings that will stand the test of time is all that matters, and she has no room for distractions-especially not romance. Mark Bennett, on the other hand, thrives in the chaos of the city, chasing stories that expose hidden truths. As an investigative journalist, his passion lies in uncovering corruption, no matter how powerful the people he exposes may be. He believes in the power of words to change the world, but even he can't predict the impact one chance encounter will have on his own life. When Emma and Mark meet in a quiet coffee shop on a rainy afternoon, neither expects the instant connection that ignites between them. What begins as a series of stolen moments soon turns into something deeper-a love built on mutual respect, late-night conversations, and shared vulnerabilities. But beneath the surface, both carry wounds from past relationships, scars that make trust a fragile foundation. Their love is tested when Mark's latest exposé uncovers corruption within a major architectural firm-one of Emma's most important clients. Suddenly, their careers, their integrity, and their relationship are on the line. Emma is torn between her loyalty to her profession and the man she loves, while Mark struggles with the consequences of telling the truth at any cost. As the city they love threatens to pull them apart, Emma and Mark must ask themselves: Can love truly conquer all, or are some sacrifices too great to make?”
