When a mysterious man is pulled from the ocean with no memory of his identity, Hannah Rooney is forced to care for the one person she believes destroyed her life—and killed her sister. What begins as a vengeful obligation becomes something far more complicated as Hannah finds herself drawn to the vulnerable, searching stranger beneath the entitled heir's surface. Told in a unique dual perspective that lets you experience their connection from both sides, this is a breathtaking exploration of how tragedy, secrets, and proximity can transform hate into something dangerously close to love. It's a second-chance romance wrapped in mystery, where neither character can afford to trust the other—but neither can quite walk away.
Reading soundtrack
Capture the tension of forced proximity and slow-burn attraction—moody indie pop, sultry R&B, and atmospheric alternative. Think vulnerable confessions, electric chemistry, and the ache of mistrust melting into desire. Dark yet intimate.
