When college student Kasey Whitton takes a job babysitting for single dad Jian Li, she doesn't expect to fall in love with the newborn baby -- or with Jian.

                                                                      *****

Love is the last thing on Kasey Whitton's mind when she agrees to take an overnight babysitting job to help support her struggling family. But as her business relationship with single dad Jian Li slowly develops into something more, Kasey is surprised to find herself falling in love with him despite his hot-and-cold attitude towards her -- and the fact that she has a long-term high school boyfriend. Will her growing feelings for Jian and his newborn son be enough to convince her to risk everything stable in her life? Or will Jian's fear of commitment -- and his belief all the women in his life are cursed -- be enough to keep them apart?

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity.

With her dad as the MVP of support and her ride-or-die besties in her corner, she hit the reset button on life, leaving Chase's broken promises in the bin of forgotten memories. Cal reluctantly agrees to the attend her high school class reunion under the impression Chase wouldn't return for such a trivial event.

He sees beyond her hesitations, recognizing the talent and strength she refuses to acknowledge in herself. But Anshika isn't ready to embrace his attention-her fears, amplified by the competitive pressures of college life, her family's expectations, and the prying eyes of others, hold her back.
