A Love That Crosses Oceans. A Past She Can’t Escape. A Man Who Refuses to Let Her Go.

Dr. Talia Danford never planned to fall in love in Malaysia. She came for her career—to reclaim the life she put on hold after loss and sacrifice. But from the moment she lands, the country pulls her in—bustling Kuala Lumpur, the lush rainforests of Borneo, the historic charm of Melaka.

And then there’s him.

Kiran Shekar has always done what was expected of him. A leader in the LNG industry, he’s built a life of stability and success. But something is missing. When their work takes them across Malaysia—from cityscapes to remote villages—the lines between professionalism and passion begin to blur.
