Linda Carroll’s life changed the day she joined an MLM, lured by the allure of sisterhood, success, and financial freedom. Yet beneath the smiling selfies and motivational mantras, she found herself trapped in a web of deception and high-pressure manipulation. Friendships soured. Family ties strained. The pursuit of a better life became a struggle for survival against relentless exploitation and psychological control.
“One fleeting romance. One lifetime apart. One fateful day to change everything.”– Kristina Noskova’s deeply moving and unforgettably poignant debut novel.
In the storied streets of Oxford, fate brings Sophia—a passionate creative writing student — and Evan, an aspiring psychologist, together for a luminous yet fleeting romance. Their days are filled with laughter, late-night confessions, and a sense that anything is possible. But when dreams pull Evan away, their connection dissolves into memory — leaving Sophia to forge ahead, building a new life, a marriage, and a family.
Years later, as the past circles quietly back, a chance encounter reunites them. Old emotions surge and unfinished questions linger — what might have been, and what could be now?
