---Wattpad Romance Featured---
Amal Carter, after graduating college, has her summer planned; road trips, salsa class, and job interviews. But the sudden death of her mother leads her to change plans in the midst of unanswered questions, and take a trip to another country to learn about her mother's and her own ethnicity.
But what was meant to be only for a week, becomes a longer trip as Amal begins to learn the deep culture entangled with her ethnic roots, all along while doing the one thing she wasn't supposed to do.
Fall in love.
But she could only stop herself so much when everything about Sami Farhan starts drawing her in; be it his eyes, his small, secretive smiles for her, or his Army uniform.
And even though Sami feels the same spark between them, they both know it'll all end anyway, because he can never leave with her and she can never stay for him.
But even though heartbreaks are promised, the treacherous road to him keeps calling her back, coaxing her to walk beyond the difference between them.
But walking it is a tale that could either end up beautiful or in a disaster.
And Amal knows she'll only get to choose once.

A trip to Fiji with her dismissive boyfriend and his alluring mother lands Valentina into the most unexpected romance of her lifetime.
*****
College student Valentina has been at a standstill in her relationship for three years, so when her boyfriend invites her on vacation to Fiji with his estranged fashion designer mother, Val can't think of anything worse. Mothers-in-law are notoriously one of the most dreadful aspects of a committed relationship, right? But nobody prepared Val for the aloof, refined Diana, who at first seems to absolutely detest her but soon warms under the tropical sun. As a unique and steamy connection sizzles and the two begin sneaking around, Val wonders if she's finally found the love she's been looking for in the most unexpected of places. But can their spark last, and is it worth what it will cost them?
