Nora Sterling, who is highly skilled in the dating scene, faces her first ever setback with a young man. Twenty-two-year-old Asher Baker is young, unjaded, and compliant, yet despite being completely innocent, he is far harder to control than anyone else. Nora deliberately teases, tests, and seduces him, but he repeatedly rejects and pushes her away. Asher takes relationships seriously and refuses to fall into her trap — until he does. He cannot help but be drawn to Nora, only asking that she loves him more. The two live under the same roof due to their parents' relationship, making this dynamic increasingly dangerous.
