Lines Beyond the Horizon

An Architect builds for the future. A Seaman lives for the horizon. But some foundations are too deep to leave behind.

Eliana has always known how to design a masterpiece. As a rising Architect, she can draft a skyscraper from memory, but she can't seem to erase the sketch of the boy who broke her heart by simply never noticing it was hers to begin with.

Xavier Raze De Vega didn't have room for love. To become a Marine Engineer at twenty-four, he had to be as cold and calculated as the engines he commands. He chose the salt and the sea over the girl in the library, convinced that dreams don't have space for distractions.

But after years of silence and thousands of nautical miles, a single night changes everything.

One batch reunion. Too many drinks. And a shared car ride that forces two parallel lives to finally collide. When the alcohol strips away Elara's professional poise, she leaves Xavier with a confession that hits harder than any storm at sea: She's still waiting.

Now, Xavier must decide if he's brave enough to drop anchor, or if he'll let the tide pull them apart forever.

Sometimes, the most important blueprint is the one you didn't know you were drawing.
