Roaring of the Waves (Isla Julieta Series #3)
Selene Dianne Reoja has always been the obedient daughter, following every rule set by her protective family. With her brothers Helios and Apollo always watching over her, Selene never imagines breaking free from their warnings-until one ill-fated day. Ignoring Apollo's stern advice, she finds herself caught in an unexpected jet ski accident. Tossed into the roaring waves, Selene is miraculously saved by Henrico, the humble bellboy at the hotel where she works.
Their worlds couldn't be more different. Henrico's life of simplicity is a stark contrast to the privileged existence Selene has always known. Despite the obvious divide, an intense sexual tension brews between them, neither of them expecting it to blossom into something deeper. Bound by familial duty and haunted by the unwritten social laws that dictate 'the rich is only for the rich,' Selene struggles with her growing feelings for a man her family would never approve of.
Can love truly conquer all? As Henrico and Selene's bond strengthens, the societal pressures and familial expectations loom larger. Her family's disapproval becomes more palpable, and Selene faces the distressing reality of choosing between her family's expectations and her own happiness. Henrico becomes her sanctuary, but their love is tested by every glance, every whisper, every judgmental eye in their tight-knit community.
Will Selene and Henrico rise above the tides that threaten to tear them apart, or will they surrender to the world's unforgiving expectations?
