MOUNTAINS OF LOVE Forty-eight hours can change everything. It's March on a Swiss mountaintop. Vivika-fifty-one, a hospitality consultant with a career spanning three decades across Europe and the Middle East-returns to the hotel school where she lived, learned, and loved thirty years ago. The mountains remember. So does she. This is where Theo warned her away from Bash. Where something electric started and never finished. Where the circuit was interrupted before it could complete. When Bash arrives twenty-four hours late-eyepatch real, pirate hat ridiculous, smile devastating-he offers forty-eight hours. No strings. No promises. Just the chance to finally know what it would have been like. She says yes. What follows is intoxicating. Dangerous. The kind of connection that rewrites everything you thought you knew about yourself. By Monday morning, hearing his engine roar as he leaves the mountain, Vivika knows she's in deep. Deeper than she's been in years. Maybe ever. When he invites her to Marbella for a hotel consultation, she goes. Maddie-best friend, truth-teller, the one who's walked through fire with her-joins her. What begins as business becomes something else entirely. The jade man Vivika has worn around her neck for decades isn't protection. It's evidence. And Bash is carrying its twin. Bash, Theo, Amílcar-three men she trusted. Sons whose fathers built an illegal network that spans continents. The consultation was never about hotels. It was about her. Danger closes in. Secrets surface. And Bash makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect her-walking away from everything, including his sight, so she can escape. He will never see her again. Literally. But at La Hacienda in Costa Rica, surrounded by coffee plants and the ghost of Amílcar's love, grief becomes clarity. She loved him. Loves him still. His sacrifice demands she honour them both-not by mourning, but by living fully. By stepping into the space he created for her and making it her own. The Pussy Posse holds the line throughout-Annie, Hélène, Priss, Maddie-friends who know when to speak and when to stay silent. Who show up. Who stay. Mountains of Love is a story about: Second chances that arrive thirty years late. Dangerous men with dangerous fathers. Impossible choices made in impossible circumstances. The difference between being chosen and choosing yourself. And learning that sometimes love means stepping into the space someone else created-and claiming it as yours. Perfect for readers who love:Second-chance romance with dangerous stakes International settings spanning Swiss Alps, Spain, Morocco, and Costa Rica Complex relationships that defy easy answers Female friendships that anchor and sustain Women claiming their power through grief and transformation Stories where sacrifice becomes the doorway to something greater Mountains of Love is the second 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. In Book Two, Mountains of Love, she discovers that independence isn't the destination. Connection is. But only when you're whole enough to meet someone as an equal. In Book Three, Forever Connected, Vivi will learn what it means to stand alongside someone without losing herself-and whether the love she's been circling for thirty years can finally land. The Between Journeys Trilogy follows one woman's journey from dependence to independence to connection-becoming whole. Three decades. Three continents. Three loves.
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.
