Surround Me
(2024)(The fifth book in the Destination Island Romance series)
A Novella by Everlee Whitman
He found his gaze moving to Suri and wondering if she could be the one to love him in that manner.
Suri, a spirited hobbyist Lepidopterist, arrives on the island with some reservations, but all her doubts vanish as she is greeted by a swarm of butterflies. Embracing her passion for these delicate creatures, Suri's vibrant personality begins to shine even brighter. However, her sunny disposition is soon challenged by Xander, the cranky grandson of the island's gallery owner. To anyone observing, it seems as though Xander is being held on the island against his will, his surly demeanor in stark contrast to Suri's cheerful nature.
Determined not to let Xander's attitude dampen her spirits, Suri decides to ignore him. However, Xander is not one to be easily overlooked and finds himself unwillingly drawn to Suri's persistent positivity. As they spend time together, navigating the quiet, reflective nature of the island, their initial clashes give way to mutual respect and unexpected attraction.
Through shared experiences and the island's timeless charm, Suri and Xander begin to see beyond their first impressions, discovering qualities in each other they might have otherwise missed. The tranquil environment of the island, with its horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and lack of modern distractions, provides the perfect backdrop for their developing relationship.
The series continues to explore how the island’s slower pace and natural beauty facilitate deep connections, allowing characters to grow both personally and spiritually. "Surround Me" draws inspiration from Psalms 32:6-8, emphasizing themes of divine protection, guidance, and the transformative power of faith.
