Aziza Mbona has everything she's ever worked for.
At twenty-four, she's built a thriving business, travels whenever she wants, and answers to nobody but herself. Love? That's always been a distraction-a risk she can't afford.
After one heartbreak taught her that people leave and careers don't, she buried herself in work and never looked back.
Then her best friend signs her up for Love Island.
Now she's stuck in a luxury villa under the Fiji sun, surrounded by flirty strangers, nonstop cameras, and people who seem far too comfortable discussing their feelings.
Aziza has no intention of falling in love.
She's there for the experience.
The adventure.
The change of scenery.
At least, that's what she keeps telling herself.
But when a connection she can't explain begins to crack the walls she's spent years building, Aziza is forced to confront the one thing she's always been able to avoid:
Her own heart.
In a villa built on attraction, temptation, and betrayal, can a woman who never stays learn how to stay for someone?
Or will she run before love has the chance to find her?
