Cover Reveal: MORE THAN WE NEEDED

The First Love on Solaramo Cay Cover Is Officially Locked In

Today we are excited to finally reveal the official cover for MORE THAN WE NEEDED, the first novel in A. Heartwood's upcoming Love on Solaramo Cay romance series.

After months of writing, editing, proof reading, design discussions, cover revisions, and more internal debate than anyone expected, the final cover has now been approved and the book itself has already been approved on Amazon KDP.

That's right.

MORE THAN WE NEEDED is publication ready.

So why isn't it available yet?

Because A. Heartwood asked us not to release it alone.

Instead, the first three books in the series will launch together.

And honestly?

We think that's the right decision.

A Romance Series Meant To Be Binged

At Palmista Press, we believe some stories are best enjoyed one book at a time.

But some worlds are simply too immersive for readers to want to leave after a single novel.

Solaramo Cay is one of those worlds.

A tropical island paradise.

A close-knit community.

Beautiful beaches.

Sunsets over crystal water.

Island restaurants.

Unexpected friendships.

Second chances.

And of course...

romance.

By releasing the first three books together, readers won't have to wait months between visits to the island. Instead, they can settle into Solaramo Cay and experience multiple interconnected love stories from the very beginning.

That approach aligns perfectly with our publishing philosophy:

Give readers enough story to truly disappear into a world.

Why This Cover Matters

Cover design is always important.

But first books carry a special responsibility.

They establish the visual identity of an entire series.

As many of our readers already know, the Solaramo Cay covers went through multiple design iterations before this final version was selected.

Our designers experimented with both illustrated and realistic approaches.

The illustrated covers were beautiful.

They stood out.

They had a distinctive charm.

But in the end, A. Heartwood made the final call.

His view was simple:

The books are romance novels.

Stories about people falling in love on a tropical island.

The covers should proudly reflect that.

No confusion.

No gimmicks.

Just clear, welcoming romance set in paradise.

The result is the cover you see today.

Bright.

Romantic.

Tropical.

And unmistakably Solaramo Cay.

What Is MORE THAN WE NEEDED About?

Without revealing too much, MORE THAN WE NEEDED introduces readers to Solaramo Cay through two parallel love stories.

Two couples.

Two very different journeys.

Only one relationship lasts.

Set against the backdrop of white-sand beaches, island restaurants, turquoise water, and the unique community of Solaramo Cay, the story explores connection, belonging, heartbreak, healing, and the unexpected ways love can change a person's life.

It's exactly the kind of heartfelt, immersive romance that A. Heartwood has become known for.

What Happens Next?

The good news is that Book One is complete and approved.

Book Two, MORE THAN WE PLANNED, is also complete and approved.

Book Three, MORE THAN WE EXPECTED, is currently moving through the final stages of proof reading and editorial review.

Once that process is complete, the publishing team will finalize ebook and paperback formatting before all three novels are released together.

We're getting very close now.

Thank You For Your Patience

We know many readers have been waiting to visit Solaramo Cay.

Thank you for your patience.

We genuinely believe the wait will be worth it.

When the first three books launch together, you'll be able to immerse yourself in the island, meet its residents, experience multiple romance stories, and enjoy Solaramo Cay the way it was always intended:

Not as a quick visit.

But as a destination.

We'll have more updates soon.

Until then, enjoy the cover reveal and start making room in your reading schedule.

Paradise is almost ready.
