Matteo & Amara series Book #3
Before the love story... there was everything that broke them.
Amara never expected the boy next door to change her life. What began as childhood friendship slowly turned into something deeper-something fragile, intense, and impossible to ignore.
Matteo was never meant to stay.
Between stolen moments, secret love, and the quiet innocence of growing up, their story unfolded in ways neither of them understood at the time. But love doesn't exist in a vacuum-and when betrayal, loss, and silence tore them apart, Amara was left to face a darkness she never saw coming.
What followed wasn't just heartbreak.
It was survival.
Years passed. Lives changed. People moved on-or tried to.
But some stories don't end when people walk away.
They wait.
This is the story of what came before-
before the distance,
before the choices,
before the question of staying... or leaving.
