Two writers, one island, and a tale that lingers long after the last page.  

✨ Review:

A love story within a love story—haunting, intimate, and unforgettable.

This book follows Alice, a celebrity journalist chasing the mystery of a vanished heiress. But she isn’t alone. Another writer, Hayden, has been invited to uncover the same story. Suddenly, they’re rivals, both tasked with telling the same woman’s truth.

Set on a quiet island off the coast of Georgia, Alice and Hayden slowly stop circling each other and start colliding. What begins as wary competition turns into something quietly powerful. Their love doesn’t erupt—it simmers. Built on shared moments, thoughtful words, and small gestures, it grows from nothing into something deeply meaningful.

But even as Alice falls in love, she’s also unraveling the tragic, tangled history of the heiress—an entirely different kind of love story, one rooted in grief, loyalty, and family wounds.

I can’t say I merely enjoyed this book—I was engulfed by it. The parallel between the two narratives kept me hooked from beginning to end. And when I closed the final page, I wasn’t the same.

I now see the world a little differently—and maybe, a little brighter.
