Description
After the tragic death of his father, Ellyas Carter was left in the care of a bitter stepmother and haunted by the shadows of abuse. A promise made to his father, helped him to hold on, to endure the pain, to stay kind, to survive. He shut the world out, building walls no one could climb- until Maya, his step cousin walked back into his life. Starting college away from family and friends was challenging as she was already struggling to cope with the grieving of her mother. Maya never imagined that moving to Florida after her mother's death would lead her back to Ellyas, who did not see in seven years. She was not prepared for the quiet storm behind his guarded eyes-or the way he seemed to understand her pain without saying a word. Drawn together by grief and bound by a connection they could not deny, Maya and Ellyas found healing in each other. What began as a gentle reunion, became a collision of souls. In each other, they found shelter. In each other, they found hope. A connection too powerful to ignore - and far too forbidden to embrace. But when past demons resurfaced and the world began to question the nature of their bond, the promise that had kept Ellyas alive... threatened to become the very thing that tore them apart. Will their forbidden relation survive setbacks and prejudice? A heart-wrenching, soul-stirring tale of forbidden love, resilience, and the healing power of truth.
