Keeping Adalyne

Years have passed, but time hasn’t dulled the pull between them. Adalyne has built a quiet, steady life far from the chaos of her past. The world no longer feels like a battlefield—until Jazmin Valencia walks back into it. A chance encounter forces open old doors neither of them were ready to face, and suddenly Adalyne is no longer the girl who ran, nor the woman who could ever forget. Jazmin has her own ghosts to reckon with—years defined by sacrifice, guilt, and the haunting memory of the wife she let go. When circumstances bring them together again, the distance between who they were and who they’ve become feels impossible to cross. Yet, in every conversation, in every lingering glance, the truth resurfaces: love has always been the one thing they couldn’t unlearn. Now, with the past threatening to reclaim them and the future uncertain, Adalyne and Jazmin must decide if love can survive not just separation, but transformation. To find their way back to each other, they will have to face the hardest question of all—can two broken hearts learn to beat as one again?
