Opis

Everyone deals with grief in their own way, but for Lorenzo Ribeiro, losing his father has sucked all the joy out of the exotic Portuguese island of Madeira. Spending every day going through the motions, the kind but naive Lorenzo finds himself in a world without beauty, crushed by crippling regret and the lingering threat of a lonely future. That is, until Catherine Pelagio, a dissatisfied elite and heir to one of the most powerful families in Madeira, arrives with enough force to give his life focus once again. Of course, societal divisions aren't always kind, even in the idyllic Portuguese islands, and the two young soul-mates find themselves faced with a love that seems doomed from the start. With the pressure mounting to come to terms with the loss of his father, time running out to take a chance with Catherine and the everyday responsibility of continuing the failing family business, Lorenzo sets out on a journey that will give new meanings to life, adventure and responsibility. Author Luis Fernandes crafts a personal tale of redemption and romance in this heart-warming chronicle of love, loss, and exploration. More than just an exotic romance, Fernandes has crafted a timeless story that hits hard; life isn't a perfect ride, but Lorenzo comes to find comfort in the everyday blemishes that used to make his life a misery. As he and Catherine get more caught up in each other, they only find their lives spiralling more and more out of control, with the hope that maybe, just maybe, they'll be able to find some stability in such a whirlwind romance."
