The moment Sol crosses paths with Amaury, a tall and mysterious stranger, the undeniable chemistry between them sparks to life. Amaury’s character is intriguing and captivating, drawing readers in with his enigmatic charm. The infusion of Spanish into the narrative, courtesy of Amaury, adds an authentic and spicy touch to the story, making it feel culturally accurate.
As Sol returns to Boston, her connection with Amaury remains strong, and their exchanges continue.
