How do we trust the paths we choose, when so many are left untaken?

Carmen didn’t come to Mexico City for romance—she came to face her shadows and heal. But when Miguel, her unfinished first love, suddenly reappears, the past collides with the present. Their reunion is electric, unsettling—and much too soon. Because now Carmen is drawn into unexpected intimacy with Daniel, a man who mirrors her present self, though married and confronting reckonings of his own.

As old patterns resurface and unresolved karma returns, Carmen must navigate two versions of love—and two versions of herself. Around her, Daniel, Miguel, and those closest to her each wrestle with their own hidden battles.

Guided by her eccentric Zen-master friend Gabrielle, Carmen embarks on a journey of courage, desire, and fierce honesty.

A luminous novel about love in its many forms—magnetic, inconvenient, and transformative—Only This Moment blends simmering tension, flashes of humor, and a poetic voice into a soul-searching exploration of identity and the liberating power of now.

All relationships are mirrors.

Some people hold the mirror to reflect your darkest parts. Others reveal where your light shines brightest.

Carmen didn’t come to Mexico City for romance. She came to face her shadows, forgive, and heal. But life has other plans.

Ten years after their wild, unfinished love imploded, Miguel—the man who once steadied the raging storm beneath her stoic mask—reappears and slips back into her orbit. Their encounter is electric, unnerving and far too soon. Because now, Carmen is entangled in a love triangle, drawn into unexpected intimacy with Daniel, a man who reflects her present self, though married and grappling with reckonings of his own.

As old patterns resurface and unresolved karma catches up, Carmen finds herself caught between two versions of love—and two versions of herself. Around her, others begin to unravel too: Daniel, Miguel, Juan, José, and Camila—each wrestling with their own flavor of the same inner struggles.

With the guidance of her best friend Gabrielle, an eccentric Zen Master with unexpected wisdom, Carmen embarks on a journey of courage, desire, and fierce self-honesty.

At the heart of it all lies a question: How do we trust the paths we choose, when so many were left untaken?

Only This Moment is a soul-searching, emotionally rich novel about love in all its forms—magnetic, inconvenient, beautifully complex, and transformative. Woven through the lives of a vibrant cast, it blends simmering tension, flashes of humor, and a poetic voice into a luminous tapestry. The result: a deeply satisfying exploration of desire, identity, and the liberating power of this moment.

Because all we ever have is this moment.

Only this moment.
