Daphne Legrand, a young recent finance graduate with a promising future, has built her life around professional success. After several romantic disappointments, she decides to venture into something new, thanks to her best friend: online dating.
With few expectations, she meets a man named Jake on a dating app—an intriguing guy with undeniable charisma and an instant connection. After weeks of exchanging messages and phone calls, they finally agree to meet in person. The date seems perfect... until the truth is revealed in the worst possible way.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Daphne discovers that Jake is none other than Jacob Sidle, the mysterious and powerful CEO of the company where she just started working. Her boss. The reality of her date with the man at the very top of the professional ladder shakes her to the core. For Daphne, the line between personal and professional must be clear and firm, but with Jake, things are different. He is not willing to give up on the chemistry between them so easily.
Daphne tries to ignore the attraction to focus on her career, but the tension between them is undeniable every time their paths cross at the office. Jake, despite being cold and calculating in the business world, begins to show her a more vulnerable side, one he has kept hidden from everyone else. However, their relationship is complicated not only by the fact that they are boss and employee, but also by the power dynamics within the company. The pressure to maintain appearances and the gossip among their coworkers quickly arise, putting Daphne in an increasingly tense situation.
Jake, a man used to being in control of every aspect of his life, discovers that with Daphne, nothing is predictable.
A crucial project at the company forces them to work together, and although both try to maintain a professional facade, the fire between them is undeniable. Daphne fears that if she gives in to the sweet words of her handsome boss, her career will be ruined before it even starts. On the other hand, Jake struggles between protecting Daphne from the consequences and maintaining his spotless reputation as CEO.
