Eight Time's a Charm

The story begins at the end-or perhaps, the end begins at the start.

Ayelleei was once called Eight, a name tied to years of longing, letters, and secret messages from a father who searched endlessly for his one true love. But Eight hated her name... and the memories it carried. She became Ayelleei, seeking a life of her own, until she met Wyde, a hospital companion with a heart full of patience, wit, and quiet devotion. They became friends, sharing laughs, secrets, and small joys... until Wyde confesses the impossible: he's been searching for a girl named Eight for decades-a girl who vanished without a goodbye.

Shock. Confusion. Yearning. Everything Ayelleei thought she knew is turned upside down.

Letters preserved by Father Oren, a garden tended by Lady Liora, guidance from Nurse Amareei, and the gentle push from Maveyleine, her sister, slowly guide her back to herself. Meanwhile, a mysterious antagonist works to rewrite their story-threatening the very book that binds their lives together.

This is a tale of love reversed, identities hidden, secrets revealed, and a librarian-author who may not even realize she is telling the story of her own heart. A story of a girl rediscovering her past, a man holding onto love through decades, and the magic of letters, gardens, and unforgettable bonds.

Can love survive the twists of time and the weight of forgotten names?
Step into a story where beginnings are the end, the end is the beginning, and every letter carries a lifetime of longing.
