While dealing with the traumas of her past, she can't seem to shake off the writer's block that's been eating away at her... that is, until she meets Dr. Noah Praigale, the kind-hearted veterinarian who manages to awaken something beneath the surface.
With every chance encounter that pulls the pair together, lines of the past begin to blur, challenging everything she knows about intimacy and love. And as the stars align, Astra wonders if she has found her next muse... or possibly, something more.
