Trust Issues

Trust Issues is the second novella in Carina Gaskell's Invincible Summer series, a tropical contemporary romance set on the Philippine coast. Narra thought her whirlwind summer romance with Théo, the Irish heir to a billion-dollar company, was over — until he returns with an unexpected proposal: marry him to secure his inheritance and escape both their families' expectations, and they can build a life together on their own terms.

Narra has until the end of summer to answer. The novella follows her weighing what a marriage built on convenience as much as feeling would cost her against what walking away from Théo for good would cost her — and whether the price of staying is one she is willing to pay.

Part of Gaskell's multicultural Invincible Summer series, which follows Filipina heroines through summer romances in the coastal town of Dalisay.
