With Love, from Cappadocia ❤️
[Completed] Bea, a young artist on the wrong side of 25, has to follow the letter. Her dead mother's last wishes. It would be horrible not to. Her best friend Nicole is the keeper of the letter. With a firm hand and a sassy attitude, Nicole ensures that Bea follows the letter. To leave the safety of her father's Florida home to fly to England. To accept an art award she doesn't feel she deserves. But first Bea is sent on a small detour.
Peter, a well tempered Englishman, is far from home. He's disappointed his father. Again. Business tycoons rarely take it well when deals fall through. His best mate Dean spurs him on to do something. Go anywhere but home for a real holiday. Not one dictated to him by his family's expectations.
Two dissimilar people are tossed together. Where strangers tend to meet. An airport. Both headed to Cappadocia. An ancient land filled with mysterious wonder and hot air balloons.
Be it fate, destiny, kismet, or Providence...Bea and Peter continue to bump into one another. One on an adventure she didn't choose. Another fighting against a life he doesn't quite fit. These two lonely people are brought closer, the pressures from home forgotten as this tease of something beautiful starts.
Then reality slams down quite brutally, breaking the two apart.
Separated by an ocean, Bea and Peter are both confronted by their feelings.
Will Bea take a stand and make her own choices?
Will Peter fight to be his own person and go after what he wants?

(This is my first venture into the world of a novella length story. This reluctant wanderlust story has a healthy dose of love and humo[u]r tossed in. Then it's submerged in the sea of cliches. Hate it? Love it? Read it.😄 There are plans to go back and fix and edit this story that was concocted in less than 3 months.)
