Waves Series #1 Life is like the ocean-just when Aelissa Aloha Janes Bedford believes she's found calm waters, everything crashes at once. Raised in the spotlight and shaped by perfection, Aelissa's carefully built world shatters in a single day. Desperate to escape the noise and expectations, she retreats to the Philippines, hoping the sea can quiet her pain. But running away doesn't bring healing. There, she meets Emilio Julian Traje, a humble tour guide who shows her a life beyond fame-and forces her to face the waves she's been avoiding. Language: Taglish
