When Cassandra Laurente's life shatters overnight, she flees to the quiet town of Sta. Monica, hoping distance can silence the noise she carries. But silence only echoes what she tried to outrun.
Haunted by old wounds and memories she once mistook for love, Cassandra begins rebuilding herself one slow day at a time.
And then there's Carl Blanco-steady where she is cracked, patient where she is restless, a familiar warmth she never expected to find again.
Between the mountains, rivers, and sea, Cassandra discovers that some things burn you... and some things teach you how to rise.
A slow-burn, soul-deep romance about healing, rediscovery, and the quiet kind of love that stays.
