If you loved From Lukov with Love - the sensational TikTok hit that is captivating readers all over the world - then you don't want to miss Ruby's story in Dear Aaron! No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata and her millions of fans agree!

Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional. Having done this before, Ruby thought she was prepared for the experience and knew what to expect. What she didn't count on was falling in love with the guy.

Through a series of heartfelt emails and letters, Ruby and Aaron build an unbreakable bond that transcends the miles between them. Their friendship blossoms into something neither expected, making their story both enchanting and unforgettable. Ruby's candidness and Aaron's sincerity make them relatable and lovable, creating a narrative that is both heartwarming and deeply emotional.
