It All Began with a Mai Tai

Camille knew her relationship with Trey—a charming, serial cheater—was circling the drain. But on a sunlit beach far from home, Camille meets Will: calm where she's chaos, steady where she spirals. Their time together isn't just a fling, it feels like clarity. Like hope. Like a version of herself she's never dared to imagine.

But reality hits hard the moment they land back home—and Camille spots Trey waiting at the gate with a grand romantic gesture she never saw coming. Will walks away, betrayed. And Camille, once again, feels caught between the past she's desperate to escape and a future she's not sure she deserves.

However, fate has other plans. When Will turns up as her new coworker, their connection simmers just beneath the surface and Trey isn't giving up without a fight.

As Camille battles her addiction, her past, and the two men pulling her in opposite directions, one thing becomes clear: the right love won't try to fix her—it'll help her find the strength to fix herself.

But healing comes at a price… and love might not be enough to save her if she can't save herself first.
