Ria Koss has never needed anyone to tell her who she is. Which made it so much worse when she heard exactly who Josh thought she was. She walked out with her head high and her heart intact. He's been trying to find the words ever since. Some men don't know what they have until it's gone. Some women don't wait around to find out.

No blurb yet, but in short: marriage-in-crisis. Both working professionals. She's a public defender; he's a court reporter. Will have emotional cheating on hero's side. Betrayal in that emotional cheating sense, grovel, and redemption. Will have OW drama, but I'm not sure how much yet and to what degree. It will be posted on Wattpad and free, but eventually I may pull it for KU--depending--once it's completed and edited. A new chapter(s) will be published on Fridays. At no specific time.

"Say something, anything. Tell me they're lies, that what we have is real. Tell me you love me, Liam." I sobbed. I waited for him to say something, but minutes passed and all he did was stare emotionlessly into my eyes. There was no warmth in them like the warmth I always saw. Now, all I see is a stranger looking down at me for being a fool and playing into his hands. His coldness hit me like knives stabbing my heart over and over again. I had my answer. "Liam? S-say something please. Lie to me, I will believe it. I love you, Liam. I really do."

Alexander didn't cheat. He just gave someone else his attention, his laughter, and the smiles that used to belong to his wife. And she watched him drift - not to another woman's bed, but to her presence. Her laugh. The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people. Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along. Eight years of marriage. One little boy who loved them both. And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous. The third - he called her insecure. So she stopped warning him altogether. And stopped waiting. Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.

Seraphina Calloway always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable.

He's the storm. She's the sunshine. Magnolia, Louisiana, will never be the same. Maverick Hayes came to Magnolia to stand up in his best friend's wedding, not to put down roots. A former Marine with scars too deep to count, he's spent his life running from the wreckage of his past. But when a gruff favor at a women's shelter pulls him into the orbit of Kayla Broussard, he finds himself caught between walls he's built and a light he can't resist. Kayla has always been the strong one-teacher, caretaker, and the quiet force behind The Magnolia House, a shelter she built in honor of a friend she couldn't save. She knows better than to fall for a man with storm clouds in his eyes. Yet every time Maverick shows up-for her students, for the shelter kids, for her-the pieces of her heart fall faster. When Maverick's past crashes back into Magnolia, threatening everything he's found, Kayla must decide if her sunshine can weather his storm. Together, they'll learn that home isn't where you're from-it's who you fight for.

A love story born in ink... and ruined by a single mistaken letter. When Lord Alexander Aveline, second son of the Duke of Brenleigh, leaves for war on the Peninsula, it is Josephine, quiet, dutiful, and often overlooked, who promises to write to him. When her mother reminds her that it is not proper for an unmarried young lady to sign her full name to a gentleman, Josephine obeys. Each letter she sends bears only a single initial. J. She believes he knows it is her. He believes the letters come from her beautiful elder sister. Across three long years of war, their correspondence deepens into something neither expected. Confidences are shared. Dreams are spoken. Slowly, two hearts begin to fall in love, each certain the other has returned their affection. When duty calls him home, Alexander returns to England holding fast to the letters that carried him through the war, certain the woman he has loved across those pages loves him in return. But a well-meaning arrangement leads to a devastating and very public misunderstanding. Each believed they were meeting the one who had loved them faithfully across war and distance. Neither realizes the terrible mistake until it is far too late. Josephine finds herself married to a man who believes he has been deceived. He thinks the letters he cherished were written by another woman and cannot understand why the future he once dreamed of now lies beyond his reach. Because he does not yet know the truth. That the woman beside him is the one who loved him all along, faithfully, quietly, and with all her heart.

Trapped in a city unraveling by the hour, they search for the one thing that no longer seems to exist: A place that's still safe. But how long before safety becomes just another illusion?
