Beneath Emerald Skies

Beneath Emerald Skies.



A Novel of Redemption, Passion, and Unbreakable Love.



Melissa Vauhn has everything—wealth, beauty, privilege. Born into the opulent world of Ireland’s elite as the only daughter of billionaire tycoons James and Candice Vauhn, her life sparkles on the surface. But beneath the glitter lies a darker truth: Melissa is drowning in a spiral of parties, addiction, and self-destruction, leaving her parents heartbroken and helpless.

Enter David, a brilliant, calm, and quietly charismatic African scholarship student studying engineering at Melissa’s university. Their paths cross under unlikely—and almost fateful—circumstances, igniting a connection that challenges everything Melissa thought she knew about love, strength, and self-worth. With his unwavering standards and soulful presence, David becomes both her mirror and her compass, guiding her through the chaos toward something she never imagined: healing.

But just as Melissa begins her journey of transformation, a new threat emerges—Sierra, a beautiful and ambitious classmate from the United States who’s harboured a long, unreciprocated crush on David. Jealousy turns dangerous as Sierra sets her sights on sabotaging the blossoming romance. As silent rivalry erupts into confrontation, Melissa must decide how far she’s willing to fight for the man who helped her find herself.

Spanning the emerald coasts of Ireland to the vibrant heart of Africa, Beneath Emerald Skies is a sweeping, sensual love story about second chances, cultural bridges, and the courage to rewrite your story—even when the world says it’s too late.
