Leona Vero-Swift thought she had the perfect life—until one devastating betrayal changed everything.
A chaplaincy on Gascona Island, a secluded luxury resort owned by a reclusive billionaire, could be an easy escape.
Instead, Leona finds herself enmeshed in a colorful, close-knit community, ambitious humanitarian work, a seemingly doomed romance, and unsettling mysteries surrounding the island's enigmatic founder. The longer she stays, the harder it becomes to ignore one question:
What if her arrival on Gascona was more than a coincidence?
As long-buried secrets begin to surface, Leona must decide whom she can trust, what she's willing to risk, and whether the life unfolding before her is the one she's truly called to.
