We were the Eyes beyond the Stars, that's what the legends called us. Obscured to the universe and all the inhabitants that flourished beyond my planet. All the chaos that occurred in this war was something I could not stand to sit idly by while people died, and the visions that plagued my sleep only worsened. I wanted to intervene to end this conflict, but my beliefs caused difference in opinion among my race. Standing by to watch the fate of every being that existed wither away in an ever-approaching evil, its source a corrupted King that dwindle in the clutches of darkness.
How could we have not stepped in sooner?
Did we really need to let them suffer to the point of extremist, not offering to break approaching battles that were unnecessary? Even now, I wondered if they learned the truth, would they cast the blame own my people, or was it time to take matters into my own hands no matter how much my father disagreed.
It's too late to turn back now, as I've made up my mind to do what I sat out to do. But will it be enough to heal those who already lost so much, then again, would my involvement cause more harm than good when I reveal myself. Only time will tell...
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
