Tasya's first encounter with Asher Calloway is anything but ordinary. When he slides into her DMs asking for help with Geo, she’s less than impressed. But behind the arrogance and casual flirtation, there’s something more. Can she survive his charm, or is he just another distraction?

Tasya stared at the email from James, the words “I will love you from afar forever” ringing in her ears. Tonight should have been a celebration, but it felt like an illusion. Beneath the surface of designer gowns and forced laughter, she was still the girl who once shared everything with him. Ash waited downstairs, but it was James who lingered in her thoughts, her past, her loss. And in that moment, Tasya knew everything was changing.
