Iris Mercer was never meant to be loved. Not in that marriage. Not by a man like Elliot Graves. It was supposed to be an arrangement. It became a year of shared silence that was never empty, of touches that were careful not to want too much, and a love that grew anyway, stubborn and deep. Then Elliot forgot her. The accident took the year that belonged to her. It left Elliot with memories of another woman, a different life. A life before Iris. He remembers nothing of the marriage that changed him. Iris remembers it all. She watches her husband move through their home in a body that knows her but a mind that does not. She hears Elliot's voice form another man's words. She grieves for a love that existed only in a single, stolen year, because some kinds of love are not repeated. They are built once, and lost forever. This story contains explicit intimacy, strong language, emotional trauma, and themes of memory loss, manipulation, and familial abuse. Intended for mature readers only.

INSPIRED BY REAL LIFE EVENTS DRAMATIZED by the author. ⚠️ Content Warning: This book contains scenes of physical and emotional abuse. Reader discretion is advised. Hailee had it all - a charming husband, a picturesque marriage, and a life most would envy. But behind the curated perfection was a woman silently drowning. Years of emotional neglect, controlling compromises, and one devastating proposition shattered her trust: an open marriage, his idea, never hers. Then came Stiles - magnetic, powerful, and everything Sam wasn't. What began as a reckless escape ignites into an all-consuming affair, one that blurs the lines between love, lust, and liberation. With Stiles, Hailee finds herself seen, touched, and wanted in ways that feel dangerously real. But the truth doesn't stay hidden for long. And as her two worlds collide, Hailee must confront the wreckage of her choices, the ghosts of her loyalty, and the terrifying freedom of finally choosing herself. Untamed Affair is a passionate, heart-wrenching tale of betrayal, desire, and rediscovery, it is a gripping exploration of what happens when a woman dares to choose herself. Raw, seductive, and emotionally riveting. This story is inspired by stories of many people I've met in my life. This is dramatized, so most of it is not real. STILES is loosely based on a man I interviewed who was in a similar predicament as the character. HAILEE is a collection of many different stories told to me by women and their experiences in marriage and relationships. SAM is another collection of many men with similar traits that women have shared with me.
