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.

Prescription for Love
Love Nile Alverion has always lived life on her own terms. A dedicated Filipina nurse with wit as sharp as her tongue, she has never once dreamed of marriage-much less to a man chosen by her parents. When she is forced to leave her home in the Philippines for France under the guise of an arranged marriage, she braces herself for disappointment and disaster. What she did not expect was Dr. Zayne Renz Ivreloux-the renowned young doctor admired for his brilliance, envied for his looks, and desired by almost every nurse in the hospital. Cold, disciplined, and seemingly untouchable, Zayne is stunned to discover that his fiancée is not only uninterested in him, but a woman who openly claims her heart belongs to women. Instead of calling off the engagement, Zayne delays the wedding, quietly determined to challenge her resolve. With only a few months left before leaving the medical field to take over his father's company as CEO, he treats their arranged engagement as his most personal challenge yet. But just as Love Nile begins to feel her carefully guarded walls crumble, whispers of doubt start to creep in. Small misunderstandings, careless words, and shadows of the past threaten to pull them apart, testing the trust and connection they've built. What begins as an impossible arrangement evolves into a clash of pride, humor, and unexpected warmth. And in the City of Love, where chance encounters often turn into destiny, Love Nile and Zayne must face the question neither of them ever thought they would ask: can a forced union heal hearts that have long sworn never to belong?
