The Sentence
In the hills of Guatemala, Holly has built a fragile peace—running a home for at-risk boys and burying the memories of the man who once broke her heart. But when Mateo walks back into her life, offering not apologies but presence, old wounds stir and long-buried questions resurface.
Then Carlos arrives.
A teenage boy with a sealed jaw and a violent past, Carlos has been sentenced to community service at Hogar de Esperanza instead of prison. He wants nothing from anyone. Especially not Mateo, the man assigned to supervise him—or Holly, who sees too much.
As Mateo tries to prove he's a man worth trusting again, Carlos fights to survive a place that demands more than obedience—it asks for belief. In others. In second chances. In love that doesn’t walk away.
Told with aching intimacy and quiet strength, The Sentence is a story about the choices we make, the pain we carry, and the people who show up when it matters most.
