  Summary

  Ara never imagined her life would change so drastically — plucked from obscurity, reshaped into someone she barely recognized, and dropped into a world she used to only dream about. But nothing could’ve prepared her for meeting Jared. Not as a fan. Not as a fantasy. But as something real. A quiet connection sparks in the most unexpected place — and what begins as a moment of honesty might just be the start of something that feels dangerously like fate.
