Produktbeschreibung

FOREVER CONNECTED Some loves can only be measured by what they survive. It's December at La Hacienda, a Costa Rican coffee plantation nestled in mountains that have witnessed three generations of secrets. Vivika-fifty-two, battle-tested, finally clear-sighted-waits for him. Six months since Marbella. Since the shooting. Since Bash walked away from his father's empire and lost his sight protecting her. When he arrives with Priss, Luiz, and Renata, he's different. Vulnerable in ways he never allowed himself to be. The eyepatch is gone. The pirate swagger softened. He can identify coffee by scent alone, navigate by sound and touch, read her moods from the cadence of her breathing. He can't see her face anymore. But he sees her completely. The jade man she's worn for thirty years finally reveals its full story. It was never just protection. Never just evidence. It was a promise made before she was born-by men who built empires on stolen things and sons who spent their lives trying to break the cycle. Bash is carrying its twin. Always has been. As the winter solstice approaches and their chosen family gathers-the Pussy Posse flying in from London, Theo arriving from the mountains, Alejandro discovering truths about his own blood-one final letter from Amílcar surfaces. What was stolen. What was recovered. What connects them all across decades and continents. But the past isn't finished with them yet. When Bash's father appears at La Hacienda-one final test, one final threat-Vivika doesn't flinch. Neither does Bash. They've both learned that some battles you fight together, standing side by side, even when one of you can't see what's coming. The blessing happens at the chapel as fireflies witness what humans feared to name. Not a wedding. Something deeper. A declaration that connection doesn't require perfection. It requires presence. Choice. The courage to stay. Forever Connected is a story about: What happens after sacrifice. How grief transforms into gratitude. The difference between being rescued and being met. Chosen family versus blood. And discovering that the deepest connection isn't about two people completing each other-it's about two whole people choosing to walk alongside each other, eyes open or not. Perfect for readers who love:Love stories that earn their happy endings Heroes transformed by sacrifice and loss International settings from Costa Rica to Portugal Chosen family and friendships that span decades Complex multi-generational sagas with secrets finally revealed Women who claim their power without apology Stories where vulnerability becomes the greatest strength Forever Connected is the third and final book in The Between Journeys Trilogy. In Book One, Between Journeys, Vivika learned that autonomy isn't given-it's claimed. She found her own true north between two impossible men. In Book Two, Mountains of Love, she discovered that independence isn't the destination. She stepped into the space someone else's sacrifice created and made it her own. In Book Three, Forever Connected, she learns the hardest lesson of all: connection doesn't mean losing yourself. It means being whole enough to stand alongside someone else-and brave enough to stay. The Between Journeys Trilogy follows one woman's journey from dependence to independence to connection-becoming whole. Three decades. Three continents. Three loves. Vivi loved dangerously. Lost courageously. Found herself entirely. And in the end, discovered that some connections transcend everything-blood, time, sight, and the boundaries we build to keep ourselves safe.

Autorenporträt

Helen Van Wengen (Britt Holland) is a citizen of the world. That sense of wonder, sharing and positivity in the joy of cultural exchanges has been poured into a series of books which in part reflect different aspects of Helen's own remarkable life. Born in Holland, Helen's childhood was in the Netherlands, with frequent visits to the UK, before she travelled to Switzerland to study hospitality at one of the world's top Hospitality Management Schools. There, Helen was introduced to friends and cultures as they lived, learned, and forged strong globalfriendships.This experience shaped the young woman's life forever and set her on a journey that would see her work in the hotel industry worldwide, particularly in Europe and the Middle East and in Central America and Asia.Now living between Jordan and Amsterdam, Helen is engaged in multiple projects, ranging from hospitality and tourism to social enterprise initiatives that drive profit for purpose, people, and planet. Helen believes in aspirational outcomes with a positive spirit. With her upbeat nature, Helen knows that miracles happen every day.And on meeting Helen, it is the positivity that shines through. A positivity which has enabled her to boldly reflect on complex, wonderful and sometimes frankly hilarious parts of her life for a series of fun but savvy books which have echoes of Eat Pray Love, Sex and the City and Four Weddings and a Funeral.Helen said: "The journey of writing these books has been so transformational because when I am writing, I feel as though I really am there while at the same time being able to reflect on situations and emotions I write about. And in some cases, remember as the words pour out."There have been times that I have cried and laughed, and those elements are all in the books"."The books are not autobiographical, but there is so much of myself and my own experiences in the characters."And the process of writing the books she said has fuelled and developed her soul and given her great joy.Between The Sheets is a fascinating read, full of love, drama, sex and intrigue, supported by strong female characters that give the work a sense of empowered authenticity.Helen said: "I love how my writing has connected my heart and mind to the past, made me more conscious of each day and allows my excitement of tomorrow to spill over on to the pages of my books. As a result of writing, I reconnected with amazing friends with whom, in some cases, I lost touch. One dear friend described my books as 'a magic carpet ride' that sparked a tear, a smile, and triggered thoughts she had forgotten all about. Touching other peoples' lives in positive ways matters to me. I will continue to live and write stories for others as well as myself. Living life is a privilege and one I embrace.
