Shadows of the Past

Maia thought she had her life figured out-until she found herself in the UK, far from everything familiar. Shy, introverted, and fiercely protective of her heart, she's learned to rely on herself and her journal as her refuge. Trust doesn't come easily, especially after being hurt before, but there's something about Oliver that makes her wonder if it might be worth the risk.

Oliver has his own demons - scars from a past that still linger, making him guarded and reluctant to let anyone in. He hides behind his confident exterior and football career, but when Maia crosses his path, she somehow gets under his skin in a way no one else ever has. The last thing he wants is to let his guard down, but Maia might be exactly what he needs.

Together, they'll navigate the complexities of trust, vulnerability, and the undeniable pull that keeps bringing them closer, despite the walls they've both built. Can two guarded hearts find the courage to heal and love again?

If you're ready for a story filled with hope, healing, and the beauty of opening up, join Maia and Oliver on their journey to discover if love is worth the risk.
