An honest look at all the imperfect things that make us fall in love. Wilhelmina Sturges is not looking for Mr. Right. She has no desire to give up her independence, or share her space with someone else. But that starts to change when she meets Thebes. Thebes Dacres hates socializing, he hates conversation, and he especially hates touching. His disdain for affection knows no bounds, and that's why he's still a virgin at 31 years old. No one ever expected him to get married or fall in love, himself included. But he quickly realizes that life isn't as predictable as he'd like to believe. Wilhelmina's smart, she's stunning, and she makes his heart beat fast. Attraction is something Thebes never experienced, and their instant chemistry often gets them into trouble. Especially when they realize he's her new boss. But Thebes can't help but risk it all for Wilhelmina, and she must decide if she'll reciprocate. Honest and endearing, Candid is a heartfelt expression of modern romance. It challenges how we face inherited trauma, clashing perspectives, and what it truly means to love. Join Wilhelmina and Thebes on their year of adventures filled with overbearing family, messy friends, passionate moments, and over-the-top romantic gestures wrapped in comedy.
