Betrayal and death destroy the love of two unrelated people. Healing is needed before either could ever risk love again. It's  2010, the summer that Spain's soccer team competes in the World Cup. Makena Nielsen heads to France to escape her adulterous ex-fiance, beginning a six-week hike west to Spain's Atlantic coast. Jordan Everest starts an 800-mile journey at the Mediterranean, walking north across Spain, trying to recover from his depression over his wife's passing. Makena and Jordan follow spiritual "Caminos" (paths) toward the holy city of Santiago. Unsure of their futures, both hope to unburden some of their pain when they reach the legendary Iron Cross. Their two different treks intersect as if their two Caminos form another cross, each person unknown to the other. But both hope their quest helps them open their hearts to love once more.

What happens when two people, both haunted by the past, cross paths in a way neither expects? Jordan York thought he had his life under control-until his marriage crumbled, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and an emptiness he couldn't fill. Co-parenting his daughter, Juana, while avoiding his ex-wife's public displays of moving on, Jordan has grown comfortable keeping his heart locked away. Then comes Antalya Nara-mysterious, guarded, with some quirks that are impossible to ignore. When Jordan first crosses paths with her, he assumes she's just another fleeting encounter, someone he'll forget as quickly as he met. But beneath her quiet demeanor lies a depth he can't shake. There's something about her-something elusive yet familiar. Beneath the surface, there's something more. As their worlds collide, so do their emotional barriers, and in every glance and every unspoken word, they are drawn closer. Despite their best efforts, some connections are impossible to avoid. But the more they're drawn together, the more they must confront their buried secrets and long avoided truths. The Unspoken is a story filled with tension, secrets, and the ache of buried emotions. As Jordan and Antalya's paths intertwine, both are forced to unfold their pasts and their fears about love piece by piece. But will the truth be enough to bring them together or tear them apart? Will they continue to run, or will they finally face the unspoken truths that bind them together? The Unspoken is a poignant, heartwarming tale of emotional vulnerability, second chances, and the courage it takes to confront the ghosts of the past. Perfect for readers who love romance with depth, humor, and richly drawn characters, The Unspoken will linger long after the final page is turned. -"They'd give anything for love, except to speak the truth!"

MY CAMINO by AntoninosNatalis
32 parts Complete
The Camino de Santiago was not even on my bucket list. Yet, after reading about it, the idea of backpacking for five weeks appealed to me; and the more I thought about it the more compelling it became. It promised the freedom, challenge, and adventure that I was seeking. If I could walk between 20 and 30 km per day, in a little more than a month, I would traverse northern Spain from east to west, going over mountains, across farmer's fields and vineyards, and even walk on an piece of old roman road. I would pass through medieval cities, charming towns, and quaint villages, some dating back to before the Middle Ages. Follow me as I share with you my Camino experiences: the thrill and adventure, the emotional roller coaster of long days of walking, and the pleasurable encounters with so many wonderful people.
