A story about a smart woman who loves her husband, her son and her life. When she learns that her husband isn't the man she thought he was, she works on giving her son the life he deserves. It's also about a lying and cheating man, who thought he was clever enough to avoid honesty and accountability in his life. Sometimes making a mistake and then sincerely apologizing, just might just not be enough. "Mommy, why is daddy and that lady nakey hugging?" My son innocently and loudly asks, while his father seems to be trying to locate his pants. Spoiler alert, they are on the floor under my feet, by the door, not anywhere near where he and his 'nakey' friend are sprawled on the couch. The woman shrieks, Kayley and I both fumble for the light switch just as River hits the button for daddy's 'magic office windows', which are now fully visible to the entire office floor, and all 127 employees are staring at and sharing my horror as my husband and his whatever she is are naked and trying to get dressed. Well damn, happy Wednesday to me.

When Emi's husband forgets his phone one morning, it only takes a few messages for everything to fall apart. She returns the phone in the middle of a board meeting and walks away from the life that she thought was happy and secure. But after the fallout comes reality. The money isn't there. The stability wasn't real. And starting over with two kids in her mother's one-bedroom apartment is a lot harder than leaving was. As Emi rebuilds from nothing, turning a quiet passion for ikebana into something more, she begins to understand that just like the flowers, she needs space, support, and patience to come into her own. Her husband thinks she'll come back because there's no way she can do it all alone. But, he's wrong, about more than one thing.

Eight years ago, I fell in love with a widower and the little boy who needed a mother. While everyone else saw Daniel rebuilding his life, I was the one holding it together. I dried Noah's tears, celebrated his birthdays, sat through his fevers, and loved him as if he had been born to me. Every time I asked about marriage, Daniel promised, "Soon." I believed him. Until the day I discovered he wasn't planning our wedding. He was planning his wedding to another woman. To make matters worse, the woman he was marrying had no idea I existed. She believed she was marrying a devoted single father, while the little boy who called me "Mom" had no idea his family was about to fall apart. Walking away should have been easy. Except Noah refused to let me go. And Daniel only realized what he'd lost after someone else started seeing my worth. A heartbreaking psychological romance about love, sacrifice, betrayal, healing, and discovering that sometimes the greatest love story begins the moment you stop begging someone else to choose you.

COMPLETE 18+👀read at your own risk She was the youngest mistake. The quiet one no one defended. The girl born too small to matter. At nineteen, she has learned how to disappear-how to shrink herself between cruel words, favoritism, and a family that never chose her. Except for one brother who visits too rarely, love has always been something she watches others receive. He is everything she is not. Powerful. Untouchable. Feared. At twenty-five, his name bends the world to its knees. Violence listens when he speaks. Wealth follows his shadow. He was raised to rule, to command, to never soften. Until her. She does not belong in his world. She is too gentle. Too innocent. Too breakable. But once his eyes land on her, the world that ignored her no longer exists. And for the first time in her life- someone chooses her.
