She survived him. Now she has to survive the truth-and decide if love can be safe in the light. Cameron "Cam" has rebuilt her life on quiet rituals: ferry rides at dusk, tea in a corner café, therapy at 8 a.m. She doesn't date, doesn't risk, doesn't slip on the black ice of "maybe." Then she meets Carson-gentle where others take, steady where others sway-and for the first time in years she imagines a future that isn't measured by exits and alibis. There's just one problem: Carson is the brother of the man who broke her. When a late-night text from her ex detonates the calm she's clawed back, Cam's world begins to close in-harassing messages, a shadow outside her door, a voice she can't outrun. With best friend Mari and therapist Alyssa at her back, Cam starts doing the unthinkable: telling the truth out loud. Carson listens. Believes. Stands up. But choosing safety means choosing to be seen-and the more Cam steps into the light, the more her past fights to drag her under. What follows is a slow-burn, high-stakes journey from survival to reclamation: a home invasion that changes everything, a courtroom where her voice does not shake, and a love that refuses to rush what it's willing to stay for. Kindled is about the courage it takes to ask for help, the family you build on purpose, and the quiet ways healing looks like joy-fresh bread in a warm kitchen, porch lights at dusk, a soft "always" whispered in the dark. Tropes & vibes: slow burn • survivor heroine • cinnamon-roll MMC • brother's-brother twist (ethical, protective, no cheating) • found family • therapy on-page • safety first romance • courtroom justice • HEA Content notes (reader safety): Emotional abuse, stalking/harassment, on-page assault and home invasion, panic attacks, hospitalization, legal proceedings-handled with care, grounding techniques, and a strong support network on page.

Rhett Carter was once country music's brightest star-until the fame, whiskey, and bad choices brought him to his knees. At 36, he's a shadow of his former self, lost in a haze of regret and struggling to stay relevant. His manager, Corey, refuses to give up on him, pushing him to return to the studio for a shot at redemption. But there's a catch: Corey wants him to record a duet with Callie Monroe, Nashville's next big thing. The only problem? Rhett doesn't do duets. He's not here to share the spotlight with anyone-not even the talented, driven 26-year-old who's turning heads across the country music scene. When their worlds collide in the recording studio, sparks fly-just not the good kind. Rhett's grumpy, jaded attitude and Callie's ambitious fire make for one hell of a clash. But when their song hits number one, the tabloids get it all wrong: they're convinced the two are more than just a duet. With their song climbing the charts and the world watching, Corey pushes them to play the game-pretend to date, perform together, and keep the fire alive. But what starts as a fake relationship soon blurs the lines between hate and something much deeper. As Rhett and Callie fight their undeniable chemistry, they'll have to decide if they can fake love long enough to keep their careers afloat-or if the spark between them is more real than they ever expected.. This is a standalone romance set within The TDX Series - a collection of interconnected love stories based in the world of Nashville's most iconic record label. This is Book One if you're reading in series order.

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.
