Their love story is tragic, ending with Elena’s death. Adrian is shattered, sinking into loneliness.
Until Sophie Bennett, a warm, witty journalist with a knack for making people laugh, enters his life. With her humour and charm, she slowly pulls Adrian back into the light, teaching him how to live again.
But just as he begins to fall for Sophie… Elena returns. Not dead, but alive after an experimental treatment abroad.
Now Adrian is torn between the woman he lost but still loves and the woman who healed him when he was broken.
