Lucas Rivera had everything the world promised�prestige at Harvard, a brilliant mind, and a future in the halls of power. But when a flood in Rio Grande del Sur sweeps away his parents and their land, he returns not to glory but to ruins, carrying only grief and an unshakable vow to fight for his people.
Then comes Celia Delgado�radiant, compassionate, and forbidden. She is the daughter of the province�s most powerful man, the very governor Lucas blames for the destruction of his hometown. Their love is instant and dangerous, a flame burning in the shadows of corruption and betrayal.
Together, they dream of a different future. But as storms gather and the river swells once more, Lucas must choose between his love for Celia and his duty to the land and people he swore to protect.
When the river rises, it demands a sacrifice.
And his name will be remembered long after the waters recede.
The River�s Embrace is a sweeping tale of star-crossed love, political corruption, and unyielding sacrifice�where hearts beat against the current, and one man�s devotion leaves a legacy no flood can wash away.
