Between Waves (Le Souffle des Îles Series #1)
10 parts Ongoing MatureShe grew up surrounded by city lights but never felt seen.
Her parents adored her older brother-the perfect son, the pride of the family. And her? She was just a shadow. No matter what she did, she was never enough. One mistake. That's all it took. And instead of trying to understand her, they sent her away. Far from Manila. Far from the noise. Far from everything she knew.
Now she's stuck in Palawan-a place too quiet, too slow, too different from the life she was used to.
That's where she meets him.
He's the hardworking boy who wakes up with the sunrise, who carries the weight of his family on his back but still manages to smile. He doesn't come from money, doesn't pretend to be anything he's not. And somehow, in his quiet strength and calm eyes, she finds something she's never had before-comfort.
She was sent away as punishment.
But maybe, just maybe, she was meant to be found.
