I came to the island searching for peace and a fresh start after my life fell apart. Instead, I found Eric—charming, attentive, and unexpectedly perfect. But just as hope resurfaced, betrayal shattered everything.
Packing my life away, I clung to my unfinished novel as proof I wasn’t lost. Lana’s invitation to a creative retreat on a remote island felt reckless, but I went, hoping for renewal. The lively retreat wasn’t what I imagined, yet meeting Eric—charismatic and seemingly genuine—was a surprise. His encouragement rekindled my spirit until I discovered he and Lana conspired to steal my manuscript.
Anger consumed me as I fled the island, determined to reclaim control. Months later, my novel’s success stood as a testament to my resilience. When Eric resurfaced, claiming ignorance of Lana’s motives and proving he had saved my manuscript, I reluctantly listened. His honesty and actions offered redemption.
Choosing to forgive, we built something unexpected—a love rooted in second chances and understanding. What began with betrayal evolved into a journey of healing and trust.
