“Step by step. Inhale, exhale.” Holly Ashton hasn't celebrated her birthday since her mom died. This is the only day of the year when she allows herself to grieve. The rest of the time, Holly pretends to be a strong, independent woman. The way she wants to be. Professionally, she already has everything. She is focused on her work as an architect at Sydney's most prestigious firm. However, Holly's personal life is much less attractive. She is emotionally isolated from everyone except a small circle of friends and family, and relationships are a no-go zone. This is exactly how Holly built her life until her twenty-fifth birthday. A chance meeting with Ryan Davenport, CEO of a real estate development firm, turns Holly's controlled world upside down. Ryan, driven by ambition and accustomed to getting whatever he wants, wants to get his hands on the beautiful and sassy Holly Ashton. When no one believes in a happy ending, how to find your chance?
