★★★★★ "Fast-paced, heart-wrenching, completely unexpected twists, excellent storyline, and a hell of a good read."
One week. No escape. One last chance at love
He was the love she never forgot.
She was the one who broke him.
Oliver Hart has built an empire from nothing. But no amount of success could erase the one thing he lost… Ruby Diaz. The woman who chose duty over love. The woman who walked away—and shattered him.
Ruby has spent years trying to be the perfect daughter, burying her dreams beneath family expectations. But some loves don't fade… they haunt. And when fate throws her back into Oliver's world at a glittering benefit art auction, the past doesn't just resurface—
It ignites.
Because Oliver isn't the boy she once loved.
Successful, driven and determined—and this time… he's not letting her go.
What begins as a clash of unresolved pain and undeniable desire spirals into something far more dangerous when Oliver takes control—sweeping Ruby away to a remote sanctuary in the lush, intoxicating forests of Oaxaca.
One week.
No distractions.
No escape from the truth.
Surrounded by the beauty of the land they once dreamed of sharing—and the monarch butterflies that mirror their fragile, impossible love—old wounds reopen, secrets unravel, and the line between love and resentment blurs.
Oliver wants answers.
Ruby wants to resist.
But passion like theirs doesn't die quietly.
As guilt, longing, and buried dreams collide, Ruby must decide:
Will she keep living the life chosen for her… or risk everything for the man she never stopped loving?
And Oliver must face the one question he's avoided for years:
Can he forgive the past… or will it destroy their second chance forever?
A sweeping, emotional second-chance romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a love that refuses to be forgotten.
As an added gift, it also includes the first chapters of Mollie Mathews' next book in the series, the award-winning romance Love in Venice.

Reader reviews:
"Fast-paced, heart-wrenching, completely unexpected twists, excellent storyline, and a hell of a good read."
"I fell in love with Ruby and Oliver. They are so good for each other, but both are so filled with garbage that their families fill them with that they can't see what's in front of them. And when they finally realize that diamonds don't have a hold on what they had, they are about to lose it. The butterflies remind me of how ethereal life is and it is up to us to not waste it, but live the fullest and best we can."
"If you like a romance of the Romeo and Juliet 'starcrossed' lovers kind, get this book. Mollie spins a lovely tale set in exotic climes and lifts us out of our own reality while we travel a twisting journey with Oliver and Ruby."
