Zade does not believe that first love never dies. For him, no matter how fervent love is, if you don't nurture it, you'll eventually fall out of it. Sam does not believe that time heals all wounds. For her, no matter how many times she runs away from the pain and regret, they always seem to know where to follow. They say life has odd ways of bringing people back together -- whether they want it or not. Because of circumstances that compel Zade to travel out of the city, he unexpectedly crosses paths with Sam again. He is convinced that he has no more feelings left for her, but the more time he spends near her, the more he finds himself questioning his own judgement, morale, and sense of decency. The heart, he discovered, can be quite stubborn. Even when the mind chooses to forget, all the heart wants is to remember. But how exactly can you fully turn your back on someone whose fate is intricately tangled with yours? Monteverde Series 4 Zade Andrei Monteverde © All rights reserved.
