In the lush, sprawling grounds of El Ocaso Resort, where the scent of orange blossoms mingles with the echoes of a storied past, widowed resort manager Lucia Galtero stands at a pivotal crossroads. Having devoted her life to preserving her family’s cherished legacy, she has set aside her own dreams and desires in favor of tradition.
When Hiroyuki “Hiro” Asato, her first love, returns after twenty-five years, bringing with him a priceless painting that captures the essence of the resort’s heritage, Lucia is suddenly confronted with a whirlwind of emotions she believed were long buried.
As old feelings resurface and the lines between past and present blur, Lucia must navigate a delicate balance. Will she choose to rekindle a love that once defined her heart, or continue to uphold the responsibilities that have shaped her life? With every decision leading to a new possibility, Lucia faces a heart-wrenching choice between embracing a future with Hiro and remaining true to the legacy of El Ocaso.
