Sareeta Domingo began her editorial career at Harlequin Mills & Boon, before moving to Trapeze in 2022. In 2025 she joined Jacaranda Books as publishing director. Her books included The Nearness of You and If I Don’t Have You. Possibility was her last novel. Sareeta passed away in 2025.

I miss Sareeta a lot. Reading her books reminds me so much of what made her special. Today is paperback publication day for her last novel, Possibility. It’s a wonderful book, do buy yourself a copy if you can. And please, share this so as many people as possible can discover it, too. 😍🙏🏾📚
