Love and Live was born from a desire to explore vulnerability, resilience, and the magic that unfolds when two lost souls find one another. This is not just storytelling this is truth wrapped in fiction.

To LIVE And LOVE

By T.M Barron.

What happens when two strangers each carrying their own quiet heartbreak find themselves swept together by fate on an island far from everything they know?

To Live and Love is a powerful, emotionally layered novel about healing, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to open your heart again. In the serene beauty of the Turks and Caicos Islands, Kennedie, a devoted but emotionally weary nurse, and Gunner, a successful yet guarded architect, meet by sheer coincidence. One moment of crisis on a moonlit beach becomes the beginning of something neither of them expected and everything they secretly needed.

As past regrets and present fears threaten to hold them back, Kennedie and Gunner must decide if they’re willing to risk their comfort zones for a chance at something real. Rich with heart, realism, and poetic intimacy, T.M Barron’s To Live and Love explores how love doesn’t always arrive wrapped in perfection but it often shows up exactly when we’re ready to feel alive again.

This is a story for anyone who has ever felt lost, held back, or afraid to begin again. Prepare to feel deeply, reflect thoughtfully, and believe in love all over again.

"Reading Love and Live felt like slipping into a story that understands you. It’s not just about romance it’s about timing, personal growth, and finding light after loss. This book reminded me why I fell in love with reading in the first place."

John Borthwick

"Few contemporary novels hit the heart the way Love and Live does. The writing is honest, vivid, and emotional without being overdone. Laidlow has a gift for making you feel like you’re not just reading a story you’re living it."
