She came for a story, she stayed for the man who became her plot twist.
Ava Sloane doesn't believe in second chances-especially not for love. Fresh off a brutal breakup and fighting to keep her career afloat, the London travel journalist lands in Jamaica for what should be a breezy assignment: review a luxury eco-resort, sip a few cocktails, and fly back to her carefully controlled chaos.
But then she meets Zayne Tiago.
Brooding, brilliant, and infuriatingly magnetic, Zayne is the enigmatic co-owner of The Calabash, a hidden gem tucked in the hills of Montego Bay. He has a past he won't talk about and eyes that tell stories she's not ready to hear. Their connection is immediate-and impossible to ignore.
As Ava explores the island's vibrant sunny beaches to smoky jerk shacks and moonlit mountain trails, she finds herself drawn into something far deeper than a holiday fling. But when the article she writes threatens to unravel the very world Zayne has built, she's forced to choose between the truth she tells on paper... and the one her heart is finally learning to believe.

As the year unfolds, the walls come down: Isadora sees past Simon's stoic exterior to the boy who's been pushing himself to exhaustion, desperate for recognition and security. Simon discovers the vulnerability behind Isadora's bold front, the insecurities she hides behind her sarcasm and chaos. There's jealousy. There's denial.
