Ambition. Regrets. Pushing outside your comfort zone. Making dreams come true in the Big Apple. A modern Cinderella love story that plays out in New York’s theater district.
A shy theater manager with a controlling family dreams of moving into the spotlight but lacks confidence.
Theater manager Monica is tired of being her family's first choice to help out at a moment's notice. They assume she has no life of her own, and they're right. She volunteers to be a Big Sister to a fatherless Hispanic girl, Luisa. She never dreams she'd fall in love with Luisa's older, brooding, gorgeous brother.
A ruggedly handsome Latino man’s violent past makes him unwilling to accept help from anyone.
Carlos endured the tragic deaths of his father and brother. Now he’ll do anything to protect the rest of his family. At first, he resists his mother’s decision to bring in a young woman to mentor his little sister, Luisa. It’s his job now to take care of his family. Plus, this responsible, accomplished Monica reminds him too much of an ex who prioritized her career over their love life, breaking his heart. He won’t allow that to happen again.
Is Carlos, with his violent past, the key to Monica achieving her greatest dreams?
Monica and Carlos are opposites in every way, but love doesn’t always strike when it makes sense.
