The narrative revolves around Kennedy Gilby, an ambitious intern at Style magazine, who is dealing with a recent breakup and her career aspirations. Kennedy's life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Thayer, a mysterious man with connections to her boss, Alessia Hearst. Thayer has come to New York under somewhat secretive circumstances, partly related to his grandfather's health and his own personal mission.
Kennedy arrives late to work after a sleepless night following the end of her relationship with Raoul, a move that shocked her colleagues as she was known for her punctuality. Her boss, Alessia Hearst, announces that she will be taking leave and later selecting candidates for senior editor positions, leaving Kennedy both hopeful and anxious about her future at Style.
During a private meeting with Alessia, Kennedy learns she has been given a challenging assignment on Page 13 of the magazine, which features exclusive interviews with notable figures. This task serves as her final test for the senior editor position. Unexpectedly, Thayer is present during this meeting, adding a layer of intrigue to Kennedy's already tumultuous day.
Thayer, revealed to be from a prominent family and having ties to royalty, is in New York to visit his ailing grandfather and pursue a personal interest in Kennedy. He is accompanied by Lud and Ash, who act as his security and confidants. Despite trying to maintain a low profile, Thayer cannot help but be drawn to Kennedy, whose beauty and strength captivate him.
Kennedy's encounter with Thayer continues outside of work, where he assists her in various ways, including helping her find clothes and offering support during a difficult time. Their interactions are filled with mutual attraction and growing affection, despite the initial mystery surrounding Thayer's identity.
As their bond strengthens, Thayer struggles with revealing his true self to Kennedy, knowing it could complicate things between them. Meanwhile, Kennedy faces the challenge of balancing her blossoming relationship with Thayer and her professional ambitions, all while navigating the aftermath of her breakup with Raoul.
The story culminates in moments of deep connection between Kennedy and Thayer, hinting at the possibility of a future together, although challenges lie ahead as they come from vastly different worlds.
