'πππ πππππ πππππππ ππ.'
Naomi Beaumont and Evelyn Winslow swore they were finished. Four years of silence should have buried what they once had-what they should never have had.
Naomi, now a sharp-tongued doctor in Los Angeles, hides behind her career and the fortress of the Beaumont empire. Love is dangerous, and she refuses to touch it again.
Evelyn has stayed in her home town with her 'husband' and two daughters, building a life that looks perfect from the outside, even if her heart is still chasing ghosts.
When Naomi's younger sister invites them both to her wedding in Italy, fate places them side by side for an entire month on a cruise. Amid the vineyards and narrow streets, beneath starlit skies and whispered family secrets, old wounds reopen-and old desires spark to life.
They promised themselves the past was behind them. But some loves don't fade.
Some loves bloom again, like butterflies-fragile, inevitable, and impossible to ignore.

Just like ocean waves
Siena Mayumi Villarreal has always believed love was a curse-something fragile, fleeting, and destined to end in ruin. Branded by scandal, haunted by trauma, and burdened by secrets she can barely carry, she keeps her heart locked away, untouched and unloved. Isabela MarΓa Roces is everything Siena is not. Valedictorian, volunteer, and the golden girl of a senator's legacy, Isabela was raised to please, perform, and pray the feelings she doesn't understand away.

But fate doesn't care for reputations or rules. ------------------------------------------------------ "To love is to unravel. To live is to break.

Heart of A Maverick
He warned her. She didn't believe him. Now there's no going back. Violet Wellesley lived her life under thumbs - her mother's, her father's, her own anxieties. But nothing prepared her for the crushing loss of freedom she felt when she learned she was being married off...to Sebastian Knight. He's just as cunning as she remembered. Just as brutal. And hauntingly familiar. But he never moved on. Not even after all these months. "You'll be mine one day, Violet Wellesley." And Sebastian Knight always kept his promises. Note: This is a companion/sequel to Heart of Stone. You can read it as a standalone, but you'll understand certain references better if you've read the first book.

Meanwhile, he is determined to make her fall in love again, this time for the sake of his own resentment. Their story unfolds across two continents, from Asia to Europe, weaving through love, loss, and the unrelenting pull of unfinished emotions.
