Love is not always beautiful.
What happens when the one who captures your heart is neither a white knight in shining armor nor a black knight, but something far more dangerous-someone unattainable? When the bond between you isn't logical, but unshakable-anchored deep within the heart.
Coraline is a stubborn and beautiful young lady who is painfully aware of her worth. She is someone who has grown used to being overlooked. Until one chance encounter at a family outing shifts everything.
Unintentional attractions, met by unwanted interactions, force her to question everything she thought she wanted. What begins as young love quickly spirals into betrayal, heartbreak, and the sharp sting of jealousy. When one boy disappears, others step in. Each pulling at a different part of her: desire, safety, escape. Coraline soon realizes she'd have to navigate this new territory carefully, as everything begins to intertwine. One love forbidden. The others-wolves in sheep's clothing.
However, love in this world-this decade-is complicated. Bruised by violence. Clouded by secrets and laced with the burn of forbidden whiskey. Curiosity becomes a storm of desire, control, and consequence. Coraline must learn what she's willing to sacrifice-and survive-to protect the pieces of herself that remain.
Now an older woman with children and grandchildren of her own, Coraline receives a simple gift: a blank book titled 'Mom's Story.' She's spent a lifetime guiding them and sharing small pieces of herself-yet never this part. For the first time, she decides to tell the story no one ever knew. The one she never forgot. Loves that were never meant to be shared... until now.
