Before Samantha Valientes found herself, she lost everything she thought she was.
She loved deeply-recklessly. She gave her heart to a man she believed was her greatest love, convinced that loving someone that much had to mean something. She poured every piece of herself into him, not realizing she was slowly leaving herself behind.
But not all great loves are meant to last-and not all who hold your heart deserve it.
When it all came crashing down, it wasn't just her heart that shattered. It was her sense of worth, her voice, her spark.
And in the quiet that followed, when the noise of heartbreak finally faded, she met someone she had long forgotten.
Herself.
She wasn't weak. She wasn't lost. She was just buried beneath all the love she gave away too freely.
This isn't a story about a girl finding love in someone else.
This is about Samantha Valientes-choosing herself, and becoming the love she had been waiting for all along.
