READ THE S SERIES ON GALATEA After successfully extorting her evil mother, Sophie Callahan takes her hard-earned money and jets off to Australia with a one-year tourist visa, backpack, and a brand-new master's degree. Her solo travel plans are almost immediately shaken by the stunning and temporarily penniless Evan Flaherty, who finds his way onto Sophie's Airbnb couch and into her (formerly) cold, dead heart. Sophie and Evan's whirlwind romance soon encounters a problem greater than the barrier reef: Evan's visa is about to expire, but Sophie's vacation has just begun. As Soph and Ev prepare themselves to beat the long-distance odds, a sudden tragedy disrupts their lives in a way they never could have imagined. When your soulmate is a reminder of the worst day of your life, do you heal together or conquer your trauma alone?
