Josie thought the hardest part of falling in love with Nate was overcoming all the reasons why she shouldn't- would she, could she survive the trauma of another betrayal? Her fears were valid. The invisible scars her ex boyfriend left were deep, ragged and still bleeding. Josie swore she'd never open her heart to another cop again. But Nate was patient, steady, and impossible to ignore. Little by little, he quieted her fears and became the one exception she never meant to make. Until a forgotten morning alarm forced Josie to realize Nate may not be the man he promised to be. As old wounds begin to bleed again, she must decide if the ghosts of trauma past still hold power and whether trusting her heart to Nate cost her everything she fought so hard to walk away from. Josie will have to decide if the man who once asked her to dance beneath the stars deserved a second chance to heal her shattered heart.

Adrian Cole asked his wife for a divorce on a Tuesday morning. He had his reasons - two years of gray, of going through motions, of convincing himself that what he felt was incompatibility and not just a man who forgot how to tend to the most important thing he had. Sera looked at him across the kitchen table. She said okay. She didn't cry. She didn't fight. She didn't ask him to stay. And that one quiet word - okay - turned out to be the thing that broke him completely. Because he had spent two years waiting to feel something. He just didn't know it was going to be this.

I have a story to tell you. One about love-- the kind that swears forever under starlight... And the kind that leaves you waiting at 2:00 a.m. in a dress he'll never come home to see. Once, he kissed me like I was the only thing that made sense. Now he won't even look at me. The vows were real. The silence is louder. The bed is cold. I keep telling myself it's just another rough patch. But the candles burn out. The food goes cold. And his green eyes aren't soft anymore- just angry. One day, he stops coming home. One day, the doctor says words I can't unhear. One day, a stranger with hazel eyes asks if I'm okay. And I wish they were green. For a while. But this isn't a story about waiting. It's a story about finally walking away. About the woman who stayed too long- and the one she chose to become after. Live it with me. Won't you? #2 Discovery (02/14/2026) #2 triangle (02/14/2026) #1 rollercoaster (02/19/2026) #1 marriageincrisis (06/22/2026)

We were friends with benefits. Reed would stop by every time he was in Anchorage, and that was the extent of things, although I started to want more. Then he ended our arrangement, and I suspected there was another woman, but it wasn't until I overheard a conversation that I understood completely. He thought I was calling and texting because I couldn't take no for an answer. That wasn't my problem at all. Two blue lines were.

A story about a smart woman who loves her husband, her son and her life. When she learns that her husband isn't the man she thought he was, she works on giving her son the life he deserves. It's also about a lying and cheating man, who thought he was clever enough to avoid honesty and accountability in his life. Sometimes making a mistake and then sincerely apologizing, just might just not be enough. "Mommy, why is daddy and that lady nakey hugging?" My son innocently and loudly asks, while his father seems to be trying to locate his pants. Spoiler alert, they are on the floor under my feet, by the door, not anywhere near where he and his 'nakey' friend are sprawled on the couch. The woman shrieks, Kayley and I both fumble for the light switch just as River hits the button for daddy's 'magic office windows', which are now fully visible to the entire office floor, and all 127 employees are staring at and sharing my horror as my husband and his whatever she is are naked and trying to get dressed. Well damn, happy Wednesday to me.
