Whispers of Forgotten Promises

By: Valerie Watts

Narrated by: Patrick

Beneath the blistering skies of the Australian Outback, where red dust clings to everything and silence speaks louder than words, Rachel Sparks hides in plain sight—just another crew member behind the lens of a glitzy reality show. But when Andrew Arnarson, now a global sensation and the face she’s tried to forget, strides onto set, the past barrels back with the force of a sandstorm.

One look is all it takes to crack the shell she’s spent ten years building. He was the boy who made her laugh before heartbreak turned them into strangers. Now he’s the man everyone wants—and the last person she’s ready to face. As sparks flicker behind staged scenes and memories resurface in stolen glances, Rachel must choose: keep hiding in the safety of anonymity, or risk everything to find out if first love ever truly fades.

In a land where everything burns—sunlight, secrets, and second chances—some fires refuse to die.
