Escapism is a haunting romantic political thriller that weaves silence into suspense, and love into ruin. Julia has lived most of her life in quiet shadows, unaware that the people meant to protect her have built their legacy on blood and betrayal. When she meets Knox, brooding, magnetic, and chasing ghosts, her world begins to unravel. What starts as curiosity becomes entrapment, as Julia is thrust into a storm of vengeance rooted in a history she never knew she was part of.

Knox is hiding more than scars. He believes Julia's family is responsible for everything he's lost-and in his descent, he makes a choice that forever alters both their lives. But fate plays cruel games. When the truth begins to surface, Knox, in his final act of clarity, shields her from the consequences of the war he started.

As the political landscape collapses around her and secrets claw into the light, Julia is left with a promise to fulfil and a name to protect. Twisted events, too strange to be chance, begin to guide her path, as if the world itself refuses to let her fade quietly.

This is not a story about escape. It's about confrontation. It's about what survives when love, legacy, and loyalty burn to ash.

PAUL I cheated on my fiancΓ©e. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and meet the gentle giant owner who invites me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I smile more than I ever have, I heal my heart. My ex says he can learn to stay, but my bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people that love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came in to Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.
