Island Chances: A Novella

By Ophelia Lux

Isla Fontaine has built a life of order and success. As a top-tier lawyer, she thrives in the courtroom, her world neatly bound by contracts and logic. But when her best friend insists she take a much-needed holiday to a secluded island resort, Isla finds herself face-to-face with the man she never thought she'd see again-Mateo, the boy who once stole her heart.

Mateo Castillo was never meant to fit into Isla's world. A man of the land, he spent his youth mowing lawns and fixing gardens while she studied late into the night. They were opposites, but their love burned bright-until life pulled them apart. Now, years later, he's on the island, running a landscaping business for the resort, and he looks even better than she remembers.

Forced into proximity on the sun-drenched shores, old sparks reignite. But Isla isn't the girl she used to be, and Mateo isn't the boy who once dreamed of a future that never came. As they navigate moonlit walks, shared memories, and undeniable chemistry, they must decide if love is enough to bridge the gap between the life she built and the one he never left behind.

Can an island paradise give them the second chance they never thought possible, or will their differences once again tear them apart?
