"Waves," the first book in the AFL series, plunges readers into a raw and heartbreaking narrative. A soul lies in ruins, shattered by betrayal. The once-bright life, filled with light and hope, now consumed by darkness. The wound deepened not by strangers, but by those who were supposed to be a sanctuary-family.
Love was conditional, granted only when it suited them, only when wealth entered the picture through marriage. Instead of healing, their greed drove the soul further into despair. The warmth of the sun, the comfort of a smile, the promise of tomorrow-these have become distant memories. Abandoned by the ones meant to protect, the soul is lost in an abyss, wondering if the light will ever be seen again.

What the waves remember
β οΈ Content Warning: This story contains sensitive themes, including childhood sexual abuse (not graphically depicted), addiction, mental illness, and emotional trauma. These topics are explored with care and are not meant to glorify or romanticize harm in any form. What the Waves Remember is a raw, emotionally charged family novel about love, loyalty, and the unspoken damage that lingers beneath the surface. Ava Portwood has always been the dependable one-her mother's helper, her brothers' quiet anchor, and the daughter who never disappoints. She's studying to be a nurse, trying to keep everything afloat while their mother slowly loses her battle with cancer. Her twin brother, Sam, was once the pride of their small coastal Florida town: a gifted surfer, a golden boy with a magnetic smile and Olympic dreams. But after a career-ending injury at seventeen, he spiraled into addiction and self-destruction, leaving behind a trail of wreckage-and questions no one dared to ask. Now, freshly out of rehab and back home only because their mother is dying, Sam is a hardened, quieter version of who he used to be, and the house feels smaller with all of them under one roof again. As old tensions rise and family secrets fester, Ava tries to hold together what's left of their fractured world. But the summer has only just begun, and nothing stays buried forever-not grief, not guilt, and certainly not the truth.

Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella SolΓ¨ne Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local cafΓ© with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming cafΓ© owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete
