Sophie believed love was simple, predictable, and safe - until Lucas, her fiancé - the man she had trusted with her heart, started drifting away. Between glittering galas, family pressures, and the return of an old flame, Sophie found herself sidelined from her own life - and even her own wedding. Lucas thought love could survive on desire and loyalty alone. But when Sophie disappears, leaving behind a silence that shatters his world, he realizes the truth: love must be earned every day, with honesty and presence. In the months that follow, both are tested, changed, and haunted by what they lost - until a single, impossible moment offers a chance at redemption. Can love survive the fractures of betrayal and reclaim the hearts it almost lost?

Six years ago, Cali Williams vanished without a word. One night of forbidden passion with her brother's best friend left her heartbroken... ...and carrying a secret she was never meant to face alone. Now she's back-bruised, guarded, and desperate to protect the only person who matters: her daughter, Isabelle who hasn't spoken a word in a year. Cali wants safety. She wants a fresh start. She definitely does not want to see Kane McKnight again-the man she loved, the man who shattered her, the man who can never know the truth. But fate has other plans. When Cali shows up at her brother Dex's penthouse, she doesn't expect to run into Kane there. Kane. Who is Older. Warmer. Still devastating handsome. And suddenly staring at her like she's a ghost he's been haunted by for years. Kane never forgot her. Not the way she looked at him. Not the tears he caused. Not the words he wished he could take back. Not the disappearance he's blamed himself for ever since. But the little girl napping in Dex's spare room changes everything. The art on the fridge. The toys scattered around the kitchen. The familiar shade in the child's eyes. Cali is hiding something. Kane can feel it in his bones. And the truth is about to break both of them. A story of second chances, healing from trauma, found family, buried secrets, and a love that refuses to die no matter how hard they try to kill it. ONLY EVER YOU Some stories begin with heartbreak. Some begin with lies. But theirs? It never really ended at all.

She was never meant to be his bride. Yet fate exchanged her heart for his fury. When Elara Cross is forced to marry Adrian Vale, the man once promised to her late sister, she becomes nothing more than an exchange bride-a substitute pawn in a business deal sealed with tragedy. To Adrian, she is a ghost wearing the face of the woman he loved. To her family, she is disposable, an illegitimate daughter raised in cruelty and handed over like property. But Elara's quiet endurance unsettles Adrian more than defiance ever could. Behind her hollow eyes and malnourished frame lies a survivor who has known only pain, and Adrian's vow to make her life hell begins to fracture under the weight of her scars. As the secrets of their pasts unravel-and as the ghost of Adrian's lost love lingers between them-hatred twists into obsession, cruelty into protection, and an unwanted marriage into something neither of them expected: a story written not by fate, but by choice.

"I told you, baby girl." It's a silky reminder, the endearment making butterflies take off in my stomach. I swallow, and he tracks the movement. "You're mine. You don't get to decide when we're over." Silver Buchanan thought Ash Steele was out of her league. After a lifetime of feeling like she was never enough, she refuses to risk her heart and disappears without a word. She knows their connection wasn't real, and rather than wait for him to end things, she chooses to walk away in search of something she's always longed for: a home and a family. She's certain Ash won't care, knowing his club will always come first. Ash grew up in the MC life, watching his father destroy both his mother and the Dark Shadows. Now president of the club, he's determined that love has no place in his life-not while the club demands his full attention. But when Silver vanishes, he can't shake her from his mind. Their relationship was casual, but nothing about her is easy to forget. When their paths cross again, Ash is set on making her pay for walking away-no matter the cost. When danger threatens Silver's new life, Ash must decide whether he's ready to face his past, confront his feelings, and claim her for good-or let her go forever.

This story is meant for 18+ as there are mature themes present. I don't write explicit sexual content (I don't know if I'm very good at it, but I will try to eventually add it), but I do write about romantic/sexually charged things if that makes sense. Step into the lives of Theo Greyson and Kate Walker as they meet by chance, fall in love, navigate a blended family, and past secrets that are dying to emerge from the shadows. Theo Greyson, billionaire CEO is in a loveless marriage, with two amazing kids. Ever the loyal man, Theo never even dreamed of someone outside his marriage, until that is, fate intervened and sent an angel into his life. Kate Walker is an intelligent, hard working marine biologist navigating her new life in New York City, trying to heal past wounds until she quite literally, falls for a strong and handsome stranger. This story plays over 4 years of their lives. You'll experience them fall in love, bring a blended family together, support one another through the good and dark times, and just as you think one may lose the other, one's strength can surprise you. Happily ever after always guaranteed.
