Lost Island Series #5: "Listen to the song, to the symphony of the sea and sail towards the love that was lost yet found again." Cathalina once called the palace her home, but now it feels like a cage. Sheltered, hidden, and controlled, she was nothing more than a puppet, obeying the commands of those who dictated her life. Lost and lonely, she realized it was time to break free and rediscover herself. When her parents announced her arranged marriage, she had reached her limit. She refused to let others decide her fate any longer. This time, she would make her own choice-to search for the man her heart truly longed for. Fleeing into the night, she found herself aboard a ship, where she met the tall, enigmatic, with striking midnight-black eyes, and handsome Captain Lucian Alessandro Castanier. Would their love rewrite a fate that's been sealed long ago? Could it defy fate? Could it defy the very forces that threaten to tear them apart-even death itself? As they sail together upon the endless sea, will they reclaim a love that was once lost? Or would the cruel destiny make history repeat itself? Book 5 of Lost Island Series Note: Please read the first four stories related to this series before this one. Or, you can read any of the first four then this if you prefer.
