Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs ended with one. When billionaire businessman Romeo Dante De Luca suddenly ends his four-year relationship with the love of his life, Elodie Jane Samson, the world believes he's cheated on the sweetest girl in New York with his assistant, Chloe. Heartbroken, abandoned, and carrying a secret she never got the chance to tell him-that she's pregnant-Elodie disappears without a trace. But while Romeo is left haunted by the only woman he's has ever loved, Elodie starts over. In the rolling countryside of Pennsylvania, she discovers the grandparents she never knew existed, restores her late parents' little coffee shop, and builds the peaceful farmhouse life she'd always dreamed of. Surrounded by horses, goats, chickens, wildflowers, and unconditional love, she raises her beautiful daughter, Matilda "Tilly," believing the past is finally behind her. Eighteen months later, a wedding invitation changes everything. Her best friend Lilly is getting married in Dubai... to Chris, Romeo's best friend. Reluctantly, Elodie agrees to attend, knowing she'll have to face the man who shattered her heart. But the moment Romeo sees a little brunette girl with bright blue eyes and starts counting the months, the truth crashes into him. Tilly is his daughter. Now Romeo must uncover the real reason he was forced to let Elodie go before it's too late, while Chloe will do anything to keep her lies hidden. As old enemies resurface, long-buried secrets unravel, and two hearts struggle to forgive the unforgivable, Romeo and Elodie must decide whether love can truly survive betrayal... or whether some promises are destined to remain broken. Sometimes, losing everything is the only way to find home. And sometimes, the family you've always dreamed of has been waiting for you all along.

10 years. 10 years of hating Griffin Taylor. Luckily for me, he lives hundreds of miles away and I very rarely have to handle the knowledge he's in town for his 48 hour visits. Some supposed best friend he turned out to be. Mum and dad would have screamed at him for hours for missing the things he did. Though, Griffin Taylor never did care about other people's feelings. I always thought I wasn't apart of that rule. That I was different to him. His best friend. His rock. No call. No text, no message through his mum or his brother. Nothing. Mine and Piper's world collapsed from under us. Total strangers on the outskirts of town showed their love and support. But Griffin? He showed up 18 months later with barely a word before taking another life altering phone call. Ass. Now, 6 years after I last had the pleasure of being in his almighty presence, Piper made the overwhelming, stupid decision to invite him to her wedding. It's fine. He'll be here for his usual 48 hours and I'll find a million things to keep me out of his way so I'll barely see him. It's fine. Not a problem. I can handle it. Piper wants him here, Piper wants her family here and I guess, with no one else, the Taylor's are family. For Piper I'll keep my thoughts to myself, I'll smile and I'll be the good Christian I am. But as far as I care, Griffin Taylor can rot. In. Hell.

Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?

Then, just days later, he looked into a camera and denied she had ever meant anything to him. That was the day Elaris disappeared. Years later, the woman he abandoned has built a life no one expected her to have. She wants nothing from the man who broke her, not his apologies, not his regrets, and certainly not his love. But some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Because sometimes, love was never enough.

Lilith Wolfe thought she'd buried the past-the sweet, scorching summer she spent falling for Liam Reinhardt, and the heartbreak that followed when he returned home. Pregnant, alone, and scared, she did what she had to do to survive. Now 24, she's a single mother of eight-year-old twins, doing everything she can to protect them from the abusive ex who haunts her every step. With a map and a dart, Lilith flees to nowhere, Nebraska, and into the path of the last man she ever thought she'd see again and has never stopped loving. Liam Reinhardt isn't the boy she remembers. At 25, he's a kingpin of organized crime-rich, ruthless, and dangerous. When Lilith crashes back into his life, he assumes she's running a game. He's never forgiven her for ghosting him all those years ago... and he sure as hell doesn't trust her now. But when he discovers the truth-that her twins are his-everything changes. As old wounds reopen and new enemies close in, Lilith and Liam must navigate a dangerous world of secrets, betrayal, and buried passion. Because the only thing more dangerous than the enemies outside... is what will happen if she tries to ghost him again.
