Crawling Back to Her

Two brilliant minds. One shattered past. A second chance neither asked for.

Back in college, Aveline Ryoan Hernandez and Sabine Thalia Cortez were each other's firsts-first love, first heartbreak, first everything. Together, they dreamed of building a life in academia. But after graduation, Aveline walked away without explanation, leaving Sabine to pick up the pieces.

Years later, Sabine is a respected professor with a reputation for brilliance and an icy heart. The last person she expects to see in the faculty roster is Aveline, now a published scholar with accolades and secrets of her own.

Forced to work together on a university-wide project, tension simmers, old sparks flare, and unspoken truths hover in every hallway. Sabine wants answers. Aveline wants redemption. And somewhere in the wreckage of what they once were... love is still waiting.

But some wounds don't heal easily. And some people only return when they've run out of places to hide.
