Yanna Ardalan was raised in Casablanca, Morocco by a family that believes discipline is everything. She has always followed the rules because her future has been carefully planned—study hard, succeed, and build a life so her family can be proud of. She won the prestigious scholarship to study French in Paris as the opportunity of a lifetime and the final step toward the career she has worked so hard to achieve but with so much at stake, she knows that one wrong move could cost her everything.
But the truth is, Yanna has always dreamed of something else.
Paris, however, has a way of changing plans.
Especially when she meets Maxence De Valois.
He is known throughout the institute for his sharp wit, rebellious attitude, and effortless charm. Maxence De Valois is the son of the institute’s director. After a series of reckless mistakes, he has been forced to work there as punishment—something he resents deeply. Rules mean nothing to him, and he has no interest in following expectations.
Yanna is the complete opposite.
Where she is careful and disciplined, Maxence is unpredictable and fearless. Their worlds should never cross. Yet when circumstances bring them together, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore.
As Paris begins to work its quiet magic, Yanna finds herself questioning the life she has always planned, while Maxence discovers feelings he never expected to have.
But some risks come with consequences.
Yanna cannot afford to lose her scholarship.
Maxence cannot afford another scandal tied to his name.
