Two weeks after breaking up with her ex, Lia impulsively books a flight to Bali—not for the usual Eat, Pray, Love journey, but to test the waters of the dating world. She believes the island, with its romantic allure and title as the "Island of the Gods," might ease the ache of her broken heart.

But Bali doesn't give her the clarity she expects. Instead, it mirrors her confusion, showing her that maybe she doesn't need anyone for now.

Until she meets Rayan.

He's the man who awakens feelings Lia thought she'd long buried. Being with him is like waking from a deep sleep, as if he's stirred something inside her she never knew existed. Terrified of the intensity, she sabotages what they have, even as their undeniable connection lingers beneath the surface. They settle into "just friends," until fate reunites them nearly a year later.

This time, their feelings are impossible to ignore. Even with limited time together, the rawness of their connection cannot be denied. Lia agrees to something casual just to spend more time with him. But now, Rayan is the one sabotaging their relationship. Lia begins to wonder if Bali has been cruel in matters of the heart or if Rayan is simply not hers to keep.
