Where Love Echoes
(2023)(The second book in the Unexpected Paradise series)
A novel by Rachelle Ayala
The last time wedding planner Ava Sinclair saw her first love, Cruz Montalvo, he left her standing at a bus stop with a broken heart. Twenty years later, she is hired by Cruz’s ex-wife to orchestrate a lavish destination wedding at a secluded Caribbean resort, Unexpected Paradise.
Cruz’s arrival on the island as a guest at his ex-wife’s wedding blows a hole in Ava’s carefully guarded heart. A ruggedly handsome security specialist, he’s strong, confident, and determined to rekindle a forever romance with Ava.
While Ava strives to maintain a professional posture, Cruz oozes charm and sex appeal, tempting her to leave caution behind. He takes her on outings to shop for the wedding and is her number-one defender when his ex-wife makes a series of unreasonable demands and accusations.
Amidst the island's vibrant characters—from the charismatic taxi driver spinning tales of island lore, and the parrot blurting out inappropriate remarks, to the strange historic mansion offering love potions—Ava and Cruz find themselves in the eye of a romantic storm of past regrets, present-day deceptions, and a future they never dared to imagine.
When Cruz’s ex-wife jeopardizes her wedding with a series of irrational demands, Ava tries desperately to keep the wedding from unraveling and Cruz sees his second chance slip from his fingers.
Can Cruz’s determination, sense of responsibility, and unwavering love for Ava heal her past hurts enough to reach for a love that she’s always yearned for? As the island’s charms weave their enchanting magic and the planned wedding hurtles toward disaster, Cruz and Ava find themselves in a surprising position to save their love and Ava’s wedding planner reputation.
This is a sweet contemporary romance.
