Publisher's Synopsis
A Moment in Time
One night. One choice. Everything changes.
When travel writer Lena Chen arrives on the idyllic island of Phu Quoc, Vietnam, she's seeking nothing more than material for her next article. Instead, a booking mishap at a beachside bar leads to a chance encounter with charming French artist Adrien DuBois-and sets in motion a whirlwind romance neither of them saw coming.
Against the backdrop of golden beaches, vibrant night markets, and an eclectic community of expatriates and locals, Lena and Adrien navigate the exhilarating and terrifying territory of unexpected love. As their connection deepens over sun-drenched days and star-filled nights, they're forced to confront the reality that awaits: Lena's nomadic career that keeps her constantly moving, and Adrien's artistic life waiting for him in Paris.
In this lyrical exploration of love, choice, and finding home in unexpected places, Island of the Heart follows two souls at a crossroads-between adventure and belonging, between passion and practicality, between the thrill of new horizons and the comfort of familiar arms.
From the vibrant shores of Vietnam to the romantic streets of Paris, this captivating story reminds us that sometimes the most profound journey is not to a place on a map, but to the uncharted territory of the heart.
Perfect for readers who loved the wanderlust of "Eat, Pray, Love," the romantic serendipity of "One Day," and the evocative settings of "Beautiful Ruins."
