The first part of Mika Misfor’s duology is not only a romantic story, but also a careful tale of inner healing: about finding oneself, working with anxiety, and regaining support from within.

Tender prose in an atmospheric Thai setting: scorching air, colorful streets, and the feeling that life is slowly filling back up with color. The heroine tries to run away from loneliness and emptiness, but she finds not only love, but also a chance to hear her own voice again.

A novel about mature, healthy relationships, where feelings grow out of attention, care, and quiet, meaningful actions—not from loud promises.

Sonia—confused and lonely—is convinced that happiness isn’t meant for her. A trip to Thailand becomes her last attempt to find any kind of meaning. She doesn’t even think that what lies ahead is a meeting that will turn everything upside down. Kieran seems like the embodiment of a dream: his beauty takes her breath away. But behind the perfect appearance is a person who knows how to understand and be truly gentle. Will Sonia, who is used to shutting herself off from the world, be able to trust someone who sees right through her? And will she dare to choose love, if she already once turned it down?
