A Place Where I Left My Heart
By Nhedz
Some journeys begin with goodbye. Others begin with forgiveness.
When Filipina nurse Isabelle Cruz receives word that her estranged mother is dying in Milan, she boards a plane not out of love—but duty. She hasn’t seen her mother in over a decade, not since the day she was left behind with nothing but a locket and unanswered questions.
But Milan is not what she expected.
There, Isabelle meets Leonardo Moretti—a quiet, compassionate doctor with eyes that seem to remember her from another life. As days stretch into weeks, Isabelle finds herself facing not just her mother’s final moments, but also memories long buried and emotions she’s tried to forget.
As secrets unfold and forgiveness takes root, Isabelle begins to understand: healing doesn’t mean forgetting. And love—real love—might just be waiting where she least expected it.
A moving story of second chances, quiet grief, and a love that begins in the margins of loss. Perfect for fans of heartfelt women’s fiction and slow-burn romance.
