Two women trying to navigate their crumbling worlds have a chance encounter that forever changes the trajectories of both their lives.
Alexandra Castle hides the brightest part of herself. She is the perfect daughter and heir-apparent to the Castle Resort empire. To her controlling father, her only fault is that she&;s gay, so she keeps her sexuality out of the public eye for his benefit. With his retirement on the horizon, he pits Alex against her corner-cutting twin brother in a high-stakes competition to choose who will take over the company. Just when she takes the lead, an ex-lover reappears, threatening to destroy her life.
Tyler Falling hides the darkest part of herself. On the surface, she is a put-together business owner, middle-class wife, and mother. In reality, she&;s broken from a rape years earlier. When she unexpectedly comes face to face with her rapist, a deep family secret surfaces.
Both escape to Napa. Their brief, anonymous encounter sparks a mutual infatuation, changing the trajectory of their hollow lives. Living a lie was no longer an option. Weeks later, Alex and Tyler are thrown together in the virtual world without realizing they are each other&;s mystery woman.
