Windy Eyes

By Paula Pires

Months after a brush with death, Sophie Hollis crosses paths with David Taylor, a New Zealand rugby star famed for his brilliance on the field and his devastating charm off it.

When fate throws them together again, Sophie is scarred but stronger, fiercely independent, and determined to embrace the life she almost lost. David does not recognize her from their first encounter, yet he feels an immediate pull towards the captivating English-Italian woman who refuses to be impressed by his fame or confidence.

What ignites between them is immediate, fuelled by passion and dangerously intense. Sophie decides to lower her barriers and surrender to the powerful chemistry between them. David, on the other hand, has built his life around control, freedom, and relationships that never demand too much. Yet the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend that what lies between them is merely physical.

Attraction turns addictive. Boundaries blur. Desire deepens into tenderness, trust, and a love neither of them expected. Sophie, who once feared she might not live long enough to have a future, slowly begins to believe in one again. But for David, falling in love is more frightening than any opponent he has ever faced.

As Sophie dares to live and love without holding back, David is forced to confront emotions he has spent years avoiding. Terrified by the depth of what she awakens in him, he makes the choice that could destroy them both...

Set between England and New Zealand, Windy Eyes is an emotional contemporary romance about healing, vulnerability, desire, and the courage it takes to accept a love powerful enough to change everything. Perfect for readers who enjoy passionate romance, emotional depth, opposites attracting, personal transformation, and a hard-won happily ever after.
