Summary

Jubillian “Jubel” Nova never expected her life to become intertwined with Raffaele Marino, a man whose ocean-blue eyes, reserved nature, and unreadable expressions make him almost impossible to understand. As she navigates the world of publishing, manuscript meetings, and the complicated people surrounding her, Jubel finds herself drawn into the orbit of a man who rarely lets anyone see beyond his carefully guarded exterior. Between unexpected encounters, professional disagreements, and moments that linger longer than they should, a quiet connection begins to form. With Kyle Evans' manuscript bringing its own challenges and the world of publishing keeping them on their toes, Jubel discovers that understanding someone can be far more complicated than falling for them. But some stories aren't written in grand confessions or effortless love. They're written in the pauses between conversations, the smallest gestures, the things left unsaid, and the slow realization that someone has become important before you even notice it happening. Like a zephyr—a gentle breeze that arrives unexpectedly—Raffaele may be the change Jubel never knew she needed. Yet whether their story will become a fleeting moment or something that lasts remains to be seen.

Prologue


I am running—

a book clutched tightly in my hands, tears slipping down my face even as I laugh like I’ve forgotten how to stop.

It doesn’t make sense. I know.

But then again… nothing about him ever did.

The book feels heavier than paper should.

Not because of its weight—

but because of what’s inside it.

My words.

His words.

And everything we never managed to say when it actually mattered.

I should be walking. I should be calm.

But here I am running with all my might.

Because if I stop now, I might lose the only answer I have ever needed from him.

Raffaele Marino.

The man who left like love was something he could outrun.

The man who turned silence into distance.

The man  I still somehow never stopped chasing.

I don’t know if this book is an apology…

or a confession…

or a mistake we are both too late to undo.

Maybe I’ll understand when I reach him.

Maybe I won’t.

But I am running anyway.

Laughing and crying at the same time.

Because for the first time in years…

he feels close enough to reach.

So you’ll have to come with me.

Two years ago—

where it all started.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
