A chance encounter between two strangers from completely different worlds sparks something neither of them expected — something deeper than attraction. Romeo sees peace in Mya for the first time in years. Mya sees the loneliness hidden beneath Romeo’s storm. But love was never supposed to fit into either of their lives. Not when Romeo’s dangerous double life threatens to destroy everything he’s built. Not when Mya’s faith, family, and responsibilities leave little room for her own desires. And not when both of them are still learning that being needed is not the same thing as being loved. In a story about pressure, purpose, healing, and the terrifying vulnerability of being truly seen, two people carrying the weight of the world must decide whether love is another responsibility… …or finally, a place to rest.

When Diane was asked to go back to the place that, to this day, still gives her nightmares and forced to face the demons that haunt her, the last thing, or person, she expected was the one person who haunted those nightmares. Nothing good ever comes out of small towns and for Diane, it means having to expose her heart. And this is something she vowed she would never do. Especially in front of him.

A soulmate is someone who love you with so much conviction, and so much heart, that it's nearly impossible to doubt just how capable you are of becoming exactly who you want to be. Naya wasn't searching for love, she wasn't even searching for anyone when it came knocking on her door. She refused to accept it. She didn't want to believe it and yet in the midst of her storm, there he was.
