Summary
When twenty-one year old Safia Rose Nix leaves behind the safety of Brisbane for the overcast streets of Derby, she’s searching for more than just inspiration, she’s searching for herself. Anxious, soft spoken, and creatively adrift, Safia never expects her quiet world to collide with James Cook, a rugged, brooding labourer with bruised knuckles and a past he doesn’t talk about.
James has spent years rebuilding his life from the ashes of his mistakes, keeping people at arm’s length and emotions under lock and key. But when he meets Safia, a girl with ocean eyes and a storm beneath the surface, he’s drawn to her in ways he doesn’t understand and can’t ignore.
As their lives entangle in a slow burning, deeply human romance, Safia and James must confront the shadows of their pasts and the intensity of their connection. He’s the chaos she’s never dared explore. She’s the calm he’s never known he needed.
But can two broken people really build something whole?
