Overview

Some loves are forbidden not because they are wrong - but because someone else must lose. On a remote island, cut off from the mainland by sea and duty, Mara has built her life around care, restraint, and staying. As a devoted caregiver in a long-term residential facility, she has learned that love is not a feeling but a responsibility - one that demands consistency, sacrifice, and silence. When Julian arrives to assess the facility, his presence disrupts the fragile balance Mara has fought to preserve. He listens in ways no one else has. He sees what Mara has given - and what she has quietly erased in herself to keep someone else safe. Their connection is immediate, dangerous, and impossible. Because loving Julian would mean taking something from the one person who depends on Mara completely. As pressure mounts and choices narrow, Mara is forced to confront a truth she has long avoided: love is not free, and every act of devotion carries a cost. To choose one life is to wound another. To stay is to lose something forever. The Measure of What We Lose is a haunting, intimate novel about forbidden love, moral sacrifice, and the quiet devastation of doing the right thing when there is no winning choice. Perfect for readers who are drawn to: Literary romance with emotional depth Tragic love stories that linger long after the final page Themes of duty, caregiving, and impossible choices Slow-burn intimacy and restrained, lyrical prose This is not a story about love that saves. It is a story about love that tells the truth - and what remains after everything else is gone.
