More Than We Needed

By A. Heartwood

Two love stories. Only one lasts.

When Lena Vasquez arrives on Solaramo Cay, she's not looking for romance. She's looking for space to breathe, time to rebuild, and proof that walking away from the life she planned wasn't a mistake. But beneath the island's golden sunsets and warm ocean breezes, she finds something unexpected - a connection with a man who seems just as lost, and just as drawn to staying, as she is.

Maya Santos came to Solaramo Cay to recover. Burned out, heart-weary, and unsure what comes next, she promises herself ten quiet days in paradise before returning to real life. Instead, she finds herself pulled into the island's slow rhythm - and into the orbit of a quiet boat captain who understands more than he says.

On Solaramo Cay, friendships form over beachside drinks, strangers become something more, and the island has a way of changing people before they realise it's happening.

But not every love story is meant to last.

As lives intertwine beneath tropical skies, Lena and Maya must decide whether paradise is only a place to escape... or somewhere worth risking everything to stay.

Perfect for readers who love emotional slow-burn romance, beautiful island escapes, found-family friendships, and love stories full of heart, hope, and second chances.
