🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇 Lauren Baker thought she'd moved on. Big city, career, husband--all checked off and on display in perfectly curated photos online--but then it all fell apart. Now she's scrubbing off every box she ever ticked, back in her hometown, waiting for a divorce, sleeping in her teenage bedroom, and face-to-face with the one man she never got over. Gio Regali likes to keep himself controlled--flashy car, private offline life, measured emotions. Love? That's off-limits. Especially now, with a mental health diagnosis that makes getting close far too risky. But seeing Ren again throws his carefully balanced world into unexpected chaos. Their attraction is immediate and impossible to ignore--just like it was all those years ago--but Gio's convinced he's too damaged to be loved. And though Ren carries the quiet grief of infertility, she's impulsive and optimistically determined to tear down Gio's stubborn walls for a second chance at what they once had. To find their way back to each other (and maybe even themselves), they have to expose old wounds, new vulnerabilities, and desires neither anticipated, learning that some second chances don't just heal two hearts--they build the family you never thought you could have.

Ever since her father died to illness, Josephine Williams felt inclined to take on the role of providing for her family. Together, they have survived amongst the many living in the poorest sector of the Helacian Empire during the birth of the 19th century. When she thinks the most of her troubles are over, from marriage proposals to working late nights at the local saloon, a sudden call to the king has her head spinning on what is real and what is not. The tale of a kingdom's downfall from a cheated trade stirs for a reawakening, where Josephine must go on a quest to make an exchange of her own, to free her family from the royal's hand. However, what if the dealer isn't who she thought they were? With a handsome captain offering his assistance, to a surging rebellion reminding her time is running out, she must decide on whether to go against the royal's wishes or betray the very being she has grown fiery feelings towards. The question probes, "Is it worth bargaining for?"

On a day that began like any other, a fifteen-year-old boy lost everything he had ever valued--while gaining a Power that can shake the very foundations of two worlds. For David John Trent, nothing will ever be the same again after a near-death encounter with a cloaked assailant lands him in a hospital ICU. His reality starts to spiral out of control in what appears to be a never-ending nightmare, as he becomes the target of ancient, malevolent forces from another realm. David's only hope of survival rests in the hands of an exiled Druid who is shrouded in many secrets--and a Power that he can barely understand, let alone control. Thrust into the dark realm of Ervon, he now must walk a treacherous path of self-discovery--a path of swords--to face an immortal foe that threatens not only Ervon's existence, but the fate of his own world. ✧☽ ✧ 🗡 ✧ ☽ ✧ Laurel Wreath Awards 2023 Winner: Most Enthralling World Hall of Fame 2023 Awards 1st Place Winner: Adventure Sunset-Moon Awards 1st Place Winner: Action/Adventure Happiness Awards 2nd Place Winner: Fantasy/Adventure/Action ✧☽ ✧ 🗡 ✧ ☽ ✧ Cover Art by Aravis Brightspell
