A fresh start – that's all Lucy wishes for when she moves to Brighton. A job as a social media manager at the luxurious Ellington Grande Hotel, a city full of light and life, a bit of ease. But while she creates perfect setups for the online world during the day, reality catches up with her at night: calls from her mother, who increasingly turns to the bottle and keeps Lucy trapped in old patterns. And then there's Kobe – the bartender with a daring smile, outrageously attractive forearms, and a frustrating unwillingness to be in front of Lucy's camera. Despite their constant verbal sparring, the buzzing tension between them is hard to ignore. When a business trip to Edinburgh forces them to share a suite, carefully drawn boundaries start to blur. But it is there that Lucy's past catches up with her – along with the fear of losing everything.

Kobe has sworn never to save anyone again who is not willing to stand up for themselves. Lucy struggles with the temptation to make herself small in order to keep the peace. But what if that very thing means losing yourself? Because sometimes letting go is the only way to hold on to what you truly love.
