The Heart That Held Us Both

By William Liu

She thought the past was buried. He thought he'd buried his heart.
Now a single lighthouse-and a single deadline-could bring everything crashing back.

Isabelle Moreau never planned to return to Crescent Bay. The coastal town holds too many ghosts, too many whispers. But when a desperate job offer and a storm-damaged lighthouse collide, she finds herself face-to-face with Gabriel-a man who has every reason to hate her.

Gabriel lost everything to betrayal: his home, his career, and the woman who once shared his last name. But when Isabelle reappears with keys to the one property that could save them both, old wounds flare-and new secrets ignite.

With a corrupt preservationist trying to steal the lighthouse and a forty-seven-day deadline ticking down, Isabelle and Gabriel must confront the lies that broke them-and the truth that could heal them. But some truths come at a price. And not all love stories are meant to be rewritten.

A dark, slow-burn romance about fractured identities, buried love, and the kind of forgiveness that doesn't come easy.
