Katharina Bautista—or Katha—is thirty-seven years old. She has no money. No job prospects. No fiancé (a recent development). She’s a burden to her brother. And she’s frightened. But this might be a problem of her own making.
Meanwhile, Nick Malvar, lead vocalist of the up-and-coming indie band Word Warlords, has been in love with his best friend’s older sister since high school and has believed all this time that she’s way out of his league (and in love with her boyfriend, a surgeon, to whom she’s engaged). However, in a shocking turn of events, a bedraggled Katha appears at his doorstep and lets him know that none of this is true any more. She doesn’t know if she’s in love and she’s definitely not engaged (she’s still out of his league though).
Nick wants her. Katha has a thousand reasons not to want him back. Because what Katha needs is a fresh start—not an exciting whirlwind romance. But what about what Katha wants? After all, we know a woman may be made a fool, if she had not a spirit to resist.
