As he turns their worlds upside down, seismic secrets come to light that could tear the newfound friends apart. Will one man dismantle the sisterhood they've only just begun to build?

A LETTER TO ROSE ('Casa De Amor')
"I fucked up, ok? When you left Cantia- left me, I thought it was because you didn't think I was capable of protecting you. I had already fallen in love with you, but then you left. Scared that I would lose you if I don't secure your safety, I went with the first option that popped into my mind." he explained intensely, pouring out his feelings to her for the first time. "Isn't it funny that the first option that popped into your mind was to marry Rose?" she asked sarcastically. Yeah, she admitted a while ago that she had lost him. So, stirring up her feelings once again isn't something she intends to do. "I'm sorry for hurting you..." he tried to apologise, but she cut him short. "Why? What do you want from me now? You've already married her and I'm safe, so what's the point of your apology?" she queried upset and exasperatedly. "A Letter To Rose- Casa de Amor" is a heart-wrenching tale of love, family, devotion, and betrayal, as three people struggle to learn the true meaning of love, deceit, devotion, and sacrifice. April Turner- a vibrant, sweet and kind caretaker of a rundown home for orphans (Cantia), soon finds herself caught in a scheme by the new landowner, Jacob Ortiz-a dauntless playboy and bossy billionaire procurator who plans to tear down the home for a mega-project. But a twist and an encounter soon plunged she and her childhood friend, Rose Anderson- a beautiful and talented co-caretaker who would do anything to achieve her goals, into the world of a powerful family with secrets they were a part of. With plausible twists and secrets, encounters and new discoveries, will these three get their happily ever after? ©Copyright Author Ownership ®All Rights ReservedComplete
