Patrick followed his late mother’s journal all the way to Bali.
He was looking for adventure, but he found Sar instead.
An island girl, so stunning and sassy,
he thinks she might be a figment of his imagination.
Sari likes to dip her toe into the wild waters,
but ultimately accepts that her future has already been decided.
In her world, love isn’t a choice—it’s a duty
decided long before a woman’s heart has any say.
But one stolen night beneath the island’s ancient trees changes everything.
The connection between Patrick and Sari is instant, and unforgettable.
But as the sky begins to lighten over the jungle, reality comes crashing back.
Before sunrise, Sari must choose:
The life she’s always known…
or risk it all for the man who makes her believe she could have something more.
