Ana Silva left the film industry the way you leave a fire: fast, scorched, and swearing never to go back.

Then Cooper shows up.

He's a celebrated director now—the kind of man who fills a room without trying—and he needs her to produce Somewhere, Sometime, the passion project she convinced him to pursue a decade ago.

But returning to Toronto means facing everything she left behind: the anxiety she's never outrun, the habit of shrinking herself into whatever shape the room needs, and the wreckage of a past relationship that did more damage than she admits.

And then there’s Cooper—intense, attentive, impossible to ignore—and somewhere between shared sets and late nights on location, old admiration starts rewriting itself into something riskier. Wanting him would mean jeopardizing the one thing she came back to reclaim: herself.

The goal was simple: produce the film, prove her worth, and leave. She didn't plan on falling for the one person who never needed her to prove anything at all.
