ABOUT THE BOOK

She was the love of his life. He was the man she believed had betrayed her. Forty-two years later, she can no longer remember his name.

Some love stories are written in the stars. Others must fight their way through heartbreak, betrayal, and time itself.

Malibu, California. Summer, 1984.

Jeremy McCay never imagined that one chance encounter beside a beach bonfire would change his life forever. Then he met Riza—a beautiful, spirited young woman whose laughter captivated him, whose courage challenged him, and whose heart awakened a love neither of them had ever known.

Beneath golden California sunsets, they discovered something extraordinary. A love filled with laughter, passion, stolen kisses, and promises meant to last a lifetime.

They believed nothing could tear them apart.

They were wrong.

A calculated betrayal destroys their future before it can begin. Letters disappear. Lies become truths. The man Riza believes she loves turns out to be someone she never truly knew. For ten devastating years, Jeremy and Riza live with the unbearable conviction that the other chose to walk away.

When the truth finally emerges, it threatens to destroy more than the deception itself. Trust has been shattered. Innocence has been stolen. The years they lost can never be returned.

Yet some hearts refuse to forget.

Given an impossible second chance, Jeremy and Riza must decide whether love can survive the very betrayal that nearly destroyed them. What follows is a sweeping journey through marriage, parenthood, unforgettable laughter, painful sacrifices, and the beautiful, imperfect reality of building a lifetime together.

Then comes a heartbreak no amount of love can prevent.

Decades after their first kiss, Alzheimer’s begins stealing Riza’s memories. The woman who once knew Jeremy better than anyone slowly loses the faces, places, and moments that made their life extraordinary.

Determined to keep their story alive, Jeremy opens an old leather notebook and begins reading aloud.

Page by page, he brings her back to the beach where they first met, the secrets that separated them, the children they raised, and the countless moments that made their love worth fighting for.

Some days, she remembers him.

Other days, he is a stranger.

Every day, he chooses her again.

Love Climbs Higher is an unforgettable, deeply moving romance spanning more than four decades. Filled with breathtaking devotion, devastating betrayal, second chances, family, humor, and the enduring power of love, it explores a question that reaches beyond memory itself:

When the person you love forgets your entire life together, can your love still find its way home?

For readers who cherish sweeping love stories, richly emotional characters, and the kind of romance that stays in the heart long after the final page.

Because true love isn’t measured by the years we remember. It’s measured by the moments we never stop choosing each other.
