"The strongest storms aren't those in the sky, but the ones we carry inside."
***
Rhea Charity Villanueva has mastered the art of running-from her broken family, her deepest wounds, and the painful reminder that love has always let her down. Her life is defined by the distance she keeps. So when the opportunity for a freelance project at a luxurious resort arise, Charity takes it, hoping for a peaceful escape from everything she's left behind. But fate intervenes when she unexpectedly crosses paths with Nale Gideon Hidalgo-the man she once admired during a brief encounter on their university days.
Nale Gideon Hidalgo has lived his life by a strict code-perfection is the only acceptable outcome. Beneath his polished success lies his fear of failure, an obsession with control that keeps his emotions locked tightly away. But when a vacation brings him back to the same resort as Charity, the woman who once saw through his facade, his carefully constructed world begins to crack.
Now, working together at the same resort, the emotional distance between them begins to blur. What starts as an uneasy reunion quickly stirs unresolved feelings, forcing them to confront the fears they've spent years avoiding.In a world where vulnerability feels like the ultimate risk, Charity and Nale must decide whether to brave the storm or let their fears keep them apart for good.

Author's note.
This is the first story I've written after deciding to return to writing, and it's far from perfect—and that's exactly the point. My goal is to write, again.
This is a story about two people, the lies they tell themselves, the fears they carry, and the terrifying beauty of letting someone truly see them. Because sometimes, the greatest danger isn't the storm itself—it's the fear of facing it.
I hope it resonates with you.
