When Claire Bennett says she wants a divorce, no one takes her seriously. To Ethan Cross and the people around him, Claire is the quiet wife who should be grateful for the life his money provides. His friends laugh at her, his family circle treats her like a servant, and even her own parents tell her to stop making trouble and go back to her husband. After years of swallowing humiliation, Claire is finally done. What starts as a demand for a clean break quickly turns into a battle of pride, money, and control. Ethan refuses to believe the woman who stood behind him for so long would really walk away. His friends call it a joke. Her parents call it a mistake. But Claire knows exactly what staying will cost her: her dignity, her freedom, and the last pieces of herself she has left. As the marriage falls apart in public, Claire stops begging to be understood and starts fighting for what is hers. A fair settlement is only the beginning. For the first time in years, she is building a life that does not depend on Ethan's approval. But leaving a man like Ethan is never simple-and the moment Claire starts choosing herself, everyone around her realizes she was never as powerless as they believed.

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." Highest ranking: #1 in Support (28/11/2018) #1 in Discover (14/03/2019) #43 in Billionaire Thank you so much lovelies!

They had been married for seven years, and Seraphina believed their love was strong enough to survive anything. Until she walked into Dominic's office and found him with Natalia, his assistant. Natalia stepped closer, and Dominic's hand settled around her waist. He didn't move away. Instead, he pulled her closer, allowing their lips to meet in a slow, deliberate kiss. But the kiss wasn't what broke Seraphina. It was the moment before it, when Dominic could have stepped back but chose not to. The way his hand tightened around Natalia's waist made Seraphina realise that he hadn't simply let the moment happen. He had allowed it. Dominic pulled away only when he noticed his wife standing silently in the doorway. Seraphina said nothing. She simply walked away, leaving behind the marriage she had trusted and the man she had loved. Now Dominic must face the consequences of his choice, while Seraphina must decide whether a love built over seven years deserves a second chance-or whether some betrayals are too deep to forgive.

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. Content Warning: emotional cheating, verbal abuse, emotional manipulation, marital cruelty, emotional neglect, public humiliation, mistaken identity, and period-typical attitudes toward women.
