The Twist of Fate

I guess planning my own proposal trip should’ve been the first red flag, but I’d been with my boyfriend for nine years, and ignoring signs had practically become a hobby.

So when I caught him cheating-on our couch, no less-I didn’t cry. I packed my stuff. And instead of canceling the romantic Ireland vacation I’d meticulously planned, I added three more tickets and begged my family to tag along. Because if I was going to have an emotional breakdown, I might as well do it surrounded by people who were forced to love me, rolling green hills, and good whiskey.

What I didn’t plan on?

Colliding with a tall, dark, and annoyingly handsome Irishman who had the charming lilt of an accent but whose attitude was the complete opposite. Reagan was infuriating and unexpected. A charming distraction I didn’t even want on vacation, but my sister forced me to entertain.

It was like stepping into a real-life Hallmark movie with forced proximity and flirty banter tropes, minus the romantic montage at the end. A few days of fun with a local before getting on my return flight to California.

Nothing more.

Except...I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Which was inconvenient, considering we lived 4,989 miles apart.

The Twist of Fate is a slow-burn, emotionally messy, wanderlust-fueled romance about heartbreak, healing, and what happens when the life you planned shatters, only to make space for something you never saw coming. Step into a captivating tale of two people who learn that even the most unexpected detours can lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever fantasized about running away, taking chances on a stranger, or proving fate wrong just to spite it-this story’s for you.
