One Night in Bayahibe is a standalone slow burn romance novel set in a quiet Caribbean resort, perfect for readers who love emotional, character-driven love stories.
Maya Bennett arrives at Aqua Esmeralda for a short work stay, determined to keep her heart closed.
After a painful past, she wants only distance, control, and silence.
Luca Moretti is the opposite kind of danger.
A quiet photographer who escaped to the island years ago, Luca doesn't chase connection-but he sees everything. And when Maya enters his world, the calm he built begins to fracture.
An unexpected housing issue forces them into forced proximity, turning shared space into shared moments. What begins as professional distance slowly becomes a roommates-to-lovers romance, built on late conversations, quiet tension, and growing emotional trust.
This is a slow burn romance where intimacy unfolds gradually, attraction deepens through connection, and love is chosen-not rushed.
One Night in Bayahibe is part of the Aqua Esmeralda series, a collection of standalone romance novels set in the same Caribbean resort-each featuring a different couple and a complete, satisfying love story.
The novels can be read in any order.
