Seventeen-year-old Aria Castellano thought she knew who she was - a scholarship student, a good daughter, a girl with simple dreams and a mother who made the world feel safe. But when her mother dies in a car accident, the life Aria knew unravels overnight. A letter. A name. A father she's never met. Now she's flying across the country to New York - to a mansion with guards at every gate, brothers who don't know what to make of her, and a father still struggling to accept the daughter he didn't know existed. Her stepmother is kind, her new home beautiful... but nothing about it feels right. At St. Augustine's Academy, power hums beneath every smile and secret. The students there were born into legacies - families bound by alliances older than the school itself, until betrayal tore them apart. Those old rivalries still live on in the halls she walks now, and Aria's arrival is stirring them all back to life. One boy in particular seems to hate her most. He's untouchable, cruel in that effortless way only someone raised in power can be. But behind the sharp words and colder eyes is something else - something that pulls her closer even when she knows she shouldn't look twice. As Aria begins to uncover the truth her mother died protecting, she learns that some secrets were buried for a reason... and that even in a world built on bloodlines and betrayal, the most dangerous thing of all might be the way he looks at her. "Some secrets don't stay buried forever. And Aria Castellano's name might be the one that brings them all back to the light"

She married the man of her dreams-then his first love came back. Now Amara has to decide: stay and fight for a man who never chose her, or finally choose herself... and the boy from her past who always did. __________________________ On paper, Amara Lane has everything she ever prayed for: a handsome husband, a ring on her finger, and the powerful Lane family name. In reality? She's just the woman who came after. Her husband, Jace Lane, never stopped loving his first love-the flawless, untouchable Sienna Hart. When Sienna blows back into town as Jace's new business partner, his parents treat her like the real daughter-in-law while Amara is left swallowing backhanded comments and smiling through every cold family dinner. So Amara straightens her spine, fixes her lipstick, and tells herself she can compete. She'll be prettier, nicer, more perfect-anything to keep her marriage from slipping through her fingers. Then she runs into Eli Rivera-her almost, her what-if, the boy who chose distance over breaking her heart. Now he's back, successful, completely unimpressed by the Lane family's power games, and furious when he sees how Amara is being treated. As Jace flaunts Sienna like a trophy and his family pushes Amara to the edges of every room, Eli pulls her back to herself-reminding her of the girl who once knew she deserved more than being second best. When the truth about Jace and Sienna finally explodes, Amara has to choose: Keep bleeding for a man who never picked her first... or walk away and choose herself-even if it means choosing the man from her past who never stopped seeing her. Packed with family drama, emotional betrayal, and a slow-burning second-chance romance, Loving a Man Who Still Loves Her will drag you by the heart from chapter one and refuse to let go.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.
