Forbidden Love
Filled with dreams and hopes, Mia was a girl who fiercely believed in love. But years spent in a loveless marriage slowly dimmed the brightness she once had, taking away everything her heart had to give until there was nothing left. Her husband, a man who awoke her love without the intention of loving her back, wove illusions, abusing and manipulating Mia until there was nothing but a shadow of the girl she was before. When Mia was finally given the chance to return to her hometown, a place she had always longed for, it seemed like the salvation she desperately needed. Or she thought so until Noah, a man with a soul as deep as the ocean, awoke something inside Mia, something that began to burn brighter than she ever thought possible.
