Author: Elle Wylee

Elle Wylee builds contemporary love stories around island communities, recovery, and second chances. Safe in Clua opens the White Sands sequence and introduces Laia, a newcomer seeking distance from a damaging former relationship, and Felix, a widower who has withdrawn from love. Repeated encounters on the fictional island gradually create trust, while the close community makes isolation difficult to maintain. The 2022 publication also establishes the setting used by later White Sands stories. Wylee balances romance with friendship, grief, fear, and the practical work of rebuilding a sense of self. Laia and Felix carry different histories, and neither becomes a simple solution to the other’s pain. Their choices distinguish necessary caution from habits that prevent a possible future, with Clua functioning as both refuge and a place of renewed connection.
