Synopsis

Maggie Lin manages 101.6 LITE FM in Baltimore, the radio station her retired father used to run. She has kept it thriving for years, and her social life has paid for it. Her only friends are her coworkers and an anonymous online pen pal.

Then a Fortune 500 corporation moves to acquire the station. Maggie has to find clever ways to stall and outmaneuver the company's acquisitions executive, a man with a reputation for closing deals.

Cooper West arrives in Baltimore with one goal: break through Maggie's resistance and secure the promotion he has been chasing. He has charm and a confidant of his own, an anonymous online friend who gives him advice. Somehow he keeps anticipating her moves just before she makes them.

This is a romantic comedy with an enemies-to-lovers dynamic, built around rivals who each confide in an anonymous correspondent. Between the sparring and the office scheming, an attraction takes hold that neither of them wants.

The question is whether those feelings can survive a corporate takeover that puts them on opposite sides of the table.
