Book Synopsis

"I live an ordinary life of solitude in London. Far away from home. My choice. This way, I can't inflict further pain on anyone else." - Dasia

Dasia is haunted by the shadows of her past mistakes. Burdened by the shame of what she's done, she works tirelessly to create an ordinary life in the bustling city of London and be just another face in the crowd. Her plan works . . . until it doesn't.

Every few weeks, she takes another temporary job in her attempt to keep a distance. Remain invisible. But this job is different. Her boss is anything but ordinary. Sure, he's crazy hot, but also the most annoying man she's ever met. Who is he, and what is he up to?

In just a few weeks, Dasia uncovers betrayal, job losses, and sinister threats aimed at an unsuspecting female colleague. Dasia faces a moral crossroads. Can she stand by and watch? Will she take the risk to help someone she just met? Complicating matters, her heart is pulled in different directions, and she struggles to make sense of her feelings.

Can she help, remain anonymous, and guard her heart all at the same time?

Sometimes, the only way to find out what lies ahead is to take a chance... and then another!

"Join Dasia as she discovers how life's unexpected twists can lead us on remarkable journeys." G.T. London

"I have the honour of being an ARC reader of this book.

It's incredibly hard to believe that this is the author's first book. Within a mere 3.5 hours, I found myself swept away by the brilliance that unfolded within these pages.

"Unputdownable" is an understatement; while thoughtfully sipping on hydration, my mantra became 'hold your breath and keep reading'.

As the end drew near, I was immersed in a tide of euphoric tears through Dasia's adventure. Thoughts cruised through my mind: How could a single book evoke feelings of being terrified, surprised, heartbroken, and smitten all at once? Lines like "I am reminded that life is full of mysterious and powerful forces working together to bring our dreams into reality in ways that are beyond our understanding" showcase the author's wisdom, painting a portrait of our human condition.

"I noticed that many people cared more about being right than listening to and understanding each other's issues..." shines a light on the fragility of human relationships and the reality of how much I find myself face to face with. "True friendship's key ingredient is no judgment" resonates as an essential truth and touches my heart deeply.

And the crescendo of self-discovery is captured perfectly: "Although my worth existed all along, I finally discovered it."

Each challenge in Dasia's journey serves as an inspiration, crafting a portrait of resilience that encourages me to march forward with unwavering optimism.

I'm pretty certain I've found my new favorite author!" - Goodreads Review
