Six years. It had been six years since Aimi ran into Luca, her unlikely - and much older - best friend on the streets of Tokyo with his...fiance. Only sixteen at the time, but a world of experience on her shoulders, she knew he was avoiding her even though they'd been close for so many years. Exiting herself from the uncomfortable run-in, and her friendship, Aimi moved on. Sort of. All grown up, living the life of her dreams translating for the United Nations, she's spending the next few months in New York City. Aimi was now living and working in the city that never sleeps, where she can work hard, and play even harder. Luca Pemberton found himself in quite a rut after extricating himself from an arranged marriage back in Tokyo. What ended up being more of a relief than a hardship brought him back to New York City, where not only did he co-own the hottest new nightclub in town, but also a secret passion project he'd always dreamed of. When Luca sees Aimi on his dance floor, every repressed emotion he'd buried bubbles to the surface in a way he can barely contain. His desire for her overwhelms his ability to control...everything. Watching her coy confidence, he begins to crumble as she shows him exactly how much she's grown into her assets. The past lurks between them, peppering them with insecurity and doubt as they rekindle their friendship, and what is clearly much more between them. Aimi's past trauma and Luca's guilt over his own indiscretions create a tumultuous ride for each as they navigate their way to a future which is certain to keep them both on their toes.
