She loved him first.
She lost him anyway.
And loving him again may cost her everything.
Salom Gritt has been in love with her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. But between their age gap and her own fear, she never crossed the line-never told him the truth.
Then Chris fell in love with someone else.
Someone Salom loved, too.
In one devastating night, Salom loses them both. And the grief that follows leaves no room for the future she once imagined. Moving on seems impossible... until tragedy forces her and Chris back into each other's lives.
Bound by loss and haunted by guilt, Salom and Chris find comfort where they least expect it. But falling in love while grieving comes with unbearable questions. Is it healing-or betrayal? And can something so painful still lead to happiness?
Forsaken is a raw, emotionally intense romance about grief, forbidden love, and finding light after unimaginable loss. This is not an easy love story-but it is an honest one, with a hard-earned happily ever after.
