She thought love was supposed to stay. He thought love was supposed to be enough. They were both wrong. After giving her heart and watching it fall apart, Alana stopped believing in love. To her, love was a word people used when they wanted something—attention, comfort, or control. She built walls around her heart and promised herself she would never be that vulnerable again. Then she met Daniel. Daniel wasn’t what she expected. He was patient when she was distant. Gentle when she was guarded. He didn’t rush her, didn’t pressure her, and didn’t leave when things got hard. For the first time, Alana began to wonder if love was more than the pain she remembered. But when past wounds resurface and fear threatens to pull them apart, they are both forced to answer the question they’ve been avoiding: What is love? Is it a feeling that fades? A risk not worth taking? Or is it the one thing worth fighting for? What Is Love is an emotional romance about healing, trust, and discovering that real love doesn’t just find you—it transforms you.
