Patience Hampton has crafted a nearly flawless life-on paper. Her voice acting career is thriving and she's surrounded by supportive family and friends. But behind her facade, she lives in the shadow of her long-term boyfriend, Daniel, selflessly supporting his dreams while neglecting her own. When a shocking betrayal shatters her illusion of happiness, Patience questions whether happiness was ever real-or just a beautifully constructed lie.
On a business trip, Patience crosses paths with Lennox Davenport, a man whose effortless confidence doesn't just spark attraction-it upends her world. As their relationship deepens, she realizes she must confront the relationship residue from an absent father and a manipulative ex.
Is Patience ready to finally face the past events that threaten her growth, healing, and happiness, and love freely? Or will self-sabotage undermine her chance to experience real love?
