I traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and Europe where I drew the inspiration to write Line in the Sand, my debut novel. The colorful characters from different worlds, where love comes to life, lifting spirits a sizzling romance with high stakes. I spent countless hours honing my craft under teachers who continually challenged me to strive to go even further in my imagination.

Line In The Sand is penned by author Liliana Rossi in the romance, cross-cultural writing, and interpersonal drama genres. Readers are introduced to Sophia Marasco, outwardly a vivacious daughter of a prominent family, but inwardly carrying scars from a past love. Her world is shaken when she meets Rashid Al-Sabar, a charming soldier from Kuwait with a Bedouin background. Their magnetic attraction sparks cultural clashes and personal dilemmas as Sophia grapples with her future. Rashid's return to Kuwait forces a choice upon Sophia: to abandon her life for love or let go of Rashid and their dreams. Set in the 1970s, this multicultural romance delves into the complexities of love, tradition, and identity.
Author Liliana Rossi has crafted a vivid and entrancing novel that allows readers to step into a vibrant nostalgic era filled with cultural tension and passionate romance. I loved the narrative confidence and smooth control of the plot as the threads of Sophia and Rashid's love story came together in their full complexity, drawing readers into their world of conflicting expectations and desires. It’s clear that the author knows a lot about both the cultures that were explored, and although the novel is informative, it never felt dry or too educational. Sophia's internal struggle, torn between her past and future, is a force of high drama firmly at the center of events, reminding readers of the universal challenges of following one's heart against societal norms. The narrative around her is tender and tense with emotion from start to finish, always allowing readers a close insight into her world. The richly depicted settings and nuanced ensemble of other characters brought the story to life with even more realism, while the themes of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery kept me engaged until the last page. Overall, Line In The Sand is a timeless tale of love transcending boundaries, and I would highly recommend it to fans of accomplished and complex romances.
