Daniel Nakamura never expected to find his mate at his ex-fiancée's wedding. The three-tailed kitsune came to Seattle to prove he's moved on-that being rejected for "not being powerful enough" didn't break him. Instead, he meets Hana Sato, a one-tailed kitsune treated like a servant by her own family.

For Hana, the bond was instant-terrifying and undeniable. She's spent twenty-two years being told she's a disappointment, a burden, barely worth acknowledging.

A fated mates paranormal romance about finding your worth, chosen family, and the courage to burn every bridge for the person who makes you whole. Featuring kitsune shifters, a protective hero who goes feral for his mate, a heroine who discovers her own power, and a guaranteed HEA.

When world class tennis player Flynn Cooper's injury puts his future on the line, the last woman he expects to save his career is Sky Hart, the ex who married his rival. Working together again means facing everything they lost...and everything they still want. *** Physiotherapist Sky Hart knows better than to let the past interfere with her work-until her newest patient makes that impossible.

He's also the ex she never got over, the boy she loved, the man she lost, and the one person she never expected to see again after she shattered his heart by marrying his rival. Their reunion reignites everything: the tension, the electric chemistry, and the unthinkable hurt they buried years ago. Every session feels like a collision with a past neither of them has truly moved on from.

But love doesn't follow the rules, and this time, the real match isn't on the court-it's against their own hearts.

The man I married broke me. Not because he didn't love me- but because he couldn't stay when grief moved in. Three pregnancies. Three losses. One marriage that shattered under the weight of everything we couldn't fix. And somewhere in the silence, in the distance I didn't know how to cross, he made a choice that broke what little I had left. If only I had known how fragile love could be. This is a story about loss that doesn't heal cleanly. About love tested in the quiet. About betrayal that doesn't come from hate-but from weakness. Sometimes heartbreak doesn't arrive all at once. Sometimes it happens slowly, while you're still trying to hold everything together.

Kylie left me days after I slid the ring onto her finger. A year later, her sister Mylie called and placed a baby named Addie in my arms. And just like that, I became a dad. My fiancée? Gone. No explanation. No goodbye. Just... gone. So I raised Addie with Mylie's help-learning parenthood in fragments of sleep and quiet panic-while I poured everything I had into my bar. It became my sanctuary. My second family. The only thing I could still control. Somewhere along the way, something between Mylie and me shifted. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly. Like a door you forgot existed finally clicking open. It wasn't love at first sight. It was something more dangerous than that. It was comfort. It was safety. It was the kind of connection that made me want to keep showing up even when I didn't think I deserved it.

Cleo Knight is finally living the life she fought for. After escaping an abusive marriage and rebuilding herself in Hollywood, she has become a rising star with awards, credibility, and her first lead role in a major film. The last thing she needs is scandal. Unfortunately, her co-star Link Hart is a walking one. When Link becomes the center of yet another cheating scandal, the future of their film - and Cleo's career - is suddenly at risk. The solution is as absurd as it is dangerous: a fake relationship. For six months, Cleo and Link must convince the world they are deeply in love, despite barely tolerating one another behind closed doors. Publicly, they are Hollywood's newest obsession. Privately, they are distant, guarded, and carefully avoiding the truth neither of them wants to face. But as red carpets blur into quiet nights, staged affection starts to feel real. Lines are crossed. Rules are broken. And Cleo must confront the terrifying possibility that the man she is pretending to love may be the one person capable of breaking her heart all over again. Because pretending is easy. Stopping... is not.
