The vibe

Elise Laurent has spent her whole life being the responsible one: straight-A, spotless record, always following the rules and staying quiet when she should’ve spoken up. Then she discovers she has two half-siblings she never knew existed—and for the first time, Elise does something wildly out of character. Within forty-eight hours, she’s on a one-way flight to New Zealand, chasing answers and a life that finally feels like her own.
Myles Smith knows pressure like a second skin. A former All Blacks outside centre, he’s now sidelined by injury while lucrative offers from rugby clubs in France wait for his decision. With his future uncertain and the weight of being a single father, retreating from the world is easier than facing it.
Everything shifts when Elise arrives to tutor his daughter. Myles’ carefully controlled life begins to unravel in the best and worst ways—and as Elise becomes part of their world, she starts questioning the version of herself she’s worked so hard to maintain. Against the breathtaking backdrop of New Zealand, Golden Hour is a story about family, second chances, and finding the courage to put yourself first—especially when love asks you to stay present.
