Copyright © 2025 by Bookish Dae After a year of enduring her husband Silas's constant, subtle comparisons to his impeccably ambitious and model-esque coworker, Dalia Jackson reaches her breaking point when he dismisses her homemaking as laziness and her voluptuous body as a lack of discipline.

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?

Seventeen-year-old Samantha-Sam-has always believed the fluttering butterflies in her stomach belonged to James: her best friend, her next-door neighbor, and the boy who's been her safe haven from a broken home since childhood. While her heart was fixed on James, his best friend Cash stood quietly in the background-steady, loyal, and loving her from a distance she never noticed. Days before James leaves for university, he suggests that maybe-once she's with him at school-they could be together. But everything starts to shift the moment he leaves. Her world unravels at home, and Sam finds herself homeless-until James's family takes her in. Now living under their roof, surrounded by the warmth she's always craved, she's also suddenly closer than ever to Cash , who stayed in town for college and works part-time at his family's garage. As Cash continues to show up-patient, steady, and unexpectedly constant-Sam begins to question everything she thought she knew. Especially who those butterflies were really meant for. *TW: Themes of child abuse throughout the story*

I thought there was no deep connection like an emotional connection. And I thought that marrying my first and Only boyfriend was the start of a forever. But he took our sacred bond for granted, and destroyed it in such a brutal way I could feel it on my bones. It spread through my body and soul like a disease. And I discovered, how Cheating, in any form or coated by any excusing justifications is still as destructing. Sometimes, to the point it becomes Cureless.

Disabled by a dog attack in her childhood, Beatrice Lockwood knows what it is like to become friends with loneliness. After years of hard work to cement herself into the small Yorkshire community of Impling, she has managed to create a meaningful, simple life with people who actually care about her. So when James Bancroft, an outsider, makes his disdain for her clear in front of everyone in town, she knows that keeping her distance is the only option. She cannot afford to lose the crucial support she has garnered. The only problem is that the damned man can't seem to stay away from her now. James Bancroft - stoic, chaste, and looking for nothing but peace - is not trying to make friends in Impling. Still, he had not intended to make enemies, either. After badmouthing a beloved pillar of the community at a dance, he knows he must make amends, and quickly. But the more he tries to make things right with the morbid Miss Lockwood, the more she pulls away. As his passion toward her grows, he finds himself unable to cope with his newfound feelings. After all, he knows quite well what it looks like when a man does not control himself.

The first time I saw him, my bones turned to water and I knew I would fall at his hands. They called it destiny, for he was the son of the last great Alpha King, the throne destroyed and the crown no more. It was destiny that he would try and rebuild the kingdom his ancestors had built. Yet he saw something in me, a mysterious attraction to a girl born into no power or destiny of her own, but told she was more worth more than she ever imagined. &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; The fourth and final book in the Broken Crown series. You do not have to read the other books to understand what is going on (each book but Sybil can be read as a stand-alone), but it gives more fulfillment to have read the others first.
