from first love to worst heartbreak

Bella thought university would be a fresh start-new friends, new experiences, and maybe even a little romance. But when a sudden trip home turns her world upside down, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of secrets, lies, and heartbreak.

Torn between two men-Jace, the steady, comforting presence she can always rely on, and Henry, whose dark allure sparks something intense and dangerous-Bella must navigate the turbulent waters of love, unsure of who her heart truly belongs to.

Meanwhile, her family is falling apart. A court case threatens everything, her stepsister is in jail, and her father is distant, hiding pain he won't share. And then there's the mystery of her mother. Bella was certain she was dead-until whispers from the past suggest otherwise.

As the trauma of her past haunts her, Bella must uncover buried truths and confront her deepest fears. Will she find the answers she seeks, or will her world shatter before her eyes? And when it comes to love, who will she choose-the safe and familiar or the one who makes her heart race?
