How do you guard a heart that already belongs to a Wildflower, a baby, and a life you swore you'd never have?

Adeline wasn't planning on having a panic attack in the middle of a thunderstorm-but that's exactly how she met Leo. Head down, heart racing, soaking wet... and suddenly crashing into a stranger with calm eyes and steady hands. Leo's the last person anyone would expect to be soft. He's an FBI agent, used to chaos, and once had a reputation for being the guy who didn't stick around. But Adeline? She's sweet, sheltered, and the kind of girl who can light up a room without even trying. The second their paths crossed, he knew she was going to mean something. And she did... she meant everything. He didn't mean to fall for the girl who's scared of storms. She didn't plan on it, but she trusted him faster than anyone else. But when two messy hearts collide, sometimes the calm comes after the thunder. This isn't one of those over-the-top, cringy romances. There's no love triangle, no toxic drama, and no dragging things out with a million side characters. Just a good timeline, real connection, and all the wholesome moments we secretly dream about. Leo and Adeline are loyal, sweet, and actually communicate (shocking, I know). You'll laugh, smile, maybe cry - and you'll definitely wish you had a Leo of your own. If you're a reader who's tired of the recycled tropes, toxic drama, and characters who can't get their lives together? Same. I've been in the Wattpad trenches too, and that's exactly why I wrote this book. It's everything I wanted to read but couldn't find. So consider this your sign: you're about to find your new favorite. You're gonna fall for Leo and Adeline - I just know it. - Love, yours truly, DaddyMaddyy

"Your entire life can change in a split second - for better or worse. It's up to you to decide how you want to live it out. Do you embrace the change, or do you go in search of your old life?" Makenna wakes up a few months after her accident and cannot remember. Not how she ended up at the hospital, or about the English boy, Atlas, who had turned her life upside down. She's been set on a new path, but this time there's no hiding from who she truly is. No more running from past nightmares. And to whatever life's got in store, she's completely vulnerable - stripped bare. Coming to Wattpad: 4th July, 2026

"Memories have the ability of unlocking new emotions. They allow you to relive moments with surfacing feelings you were unable to experience then. It's your choice to let these feelings live and take hold or tragically, or in this case, delightfully die." Makenna Adams can remember the first and last time she's ever been frightened of anything. That moment had turned her life into a daily nightmare. She would've never guessed that an English boy, Atlas, would be the second. The same boy who can't seem to stop thinking about what had unfolded the last time they were in the same room. He had certainly left her bruised.

"There are a few moments in life that are perfect and surreal; like a beautiful dream you don't want to wake up from, but when you do, you can't seem to remember what it was about. Then there are the terrible moments, absolute nightmares that nothing you do can make you forget them. This was that moment." Makenna Adams is in her third year of College with a dark past that none of her friends know about. She's no longer the sweet and innocent girl she was three years ago, she's bitter and always seeks danger. But when an English boy, Atlas, transfers to her college, she starts to see glimpses of the old her and she won't have it because the old her is nothing but broken. Book cover by @Lazybrew
