Rise — Marianne Knightly

Liz has a secret. No, it's not her cheating ex who won't leave her alone (everyone knows about him). No, it's not her crazy mother acting crazier (which everyone, especially her identical twin, knows about). Her secret is about Luke.

No, it's not the fact they've been sleeping together (though that is a secret, sort of). Her secret is that she might be in love with him. But, after everything she went through with her ex, she's done with love.

Luke has other plans. He's watched over Liz for years while she was with a man that didn't deserve her. Now, he'll prove to her that they do belong together, even while a woman from his own past reenters his life, challenging his and Liz's love.

Between dueling exes, frustrating family, and the wedding of the year, can they find their way towards a future together?

Come for one last visit to the seaside to find out…

*Includes multiple epilogues featuring characters from the series (and some Vallerian royals) in the future!

Welcome to Valleria, a country nestled along the Mediterranean. Whether it's the small towns or larger port cities, you're sure to find a friendly face -- or more -- along Valleria's seaside shores. Far from the politics of the palace, follow this group of friends as they find love, support each other, and perhaps even meet a royal or two at the local Masillian pub, the Seashell.
