I used to believe love could soften even the coldest man. I was wrong. Adrian Cole married me to protect his empire, not because he wanted me. For three years, I loved a husband who barely looked at me unless it was to humiliate me, ignore me, or remind me that I would never be the woman he truly wanted. Still, I stayed. I stayed through the loneliness. Through the public embarrassment. Through the nights, he chose another woman over me. And then he destroyed the last fragile piece of my heart. On the night I lost our baby, Adrian abandoned me during a storm to run after his ex lover. While I bled and broke alone, something inside me finally died. So I disappeared. Three years later, I returned as a completely different woman. Stronger. Untouchable. Engaged to a man who gave me everything Adrian never could. But the moment Adrian sees me again, his world begins to fall apart. Now, the man who once destroyed me is desperate for another chance. Too bad some wounds don't heal. And some women never forgive.

Every miracle drug that made Julian Marsh world-famous was invented by the wife he called useless. For ten years Aurora Hart gave him everything, because she believed he loved her. Then she caught him kissing his colleague and heard him laugh. "My wife is ugly and useless. How could she ever compare to you?" She walked out in tears and never saw the van coming. Now she is nineteen again, six months into dating Julian, before the marriage, before he took everything. This time the real Aurora is back - sharp-tongued, fearless, and done playing dead. She will take back her research, her name, and watch him crumble without her genius to feed on. The only problem is Sebastian Wolfe, her cold arrogant rival who hides a smile every time she wins. He never married in her last life. He once said he only ever loved one woman. It was her.

When Alexander Kingsley chose wealth, power, and ambition over the woman who loved him unconditionally, he believed he was making the right decision. Amelia Hart had stood by him when he had nothing. She believed in him, supported him, and loved him with her whole heart. But when Alexander abandoned her for a powerful marriage that could elevate his status, Amelia disappeared from his life without a trace. Years later, Alexander Kingsley is one of the most powerful CEOs in the city, married into wealth and admired by everyone. Yet his success means nothing. Because the only woman he ever truly loved is gone. What he doesn't know is that Amelia didn't disappear-she rebuilt herself. Stronger. Smarter. Untouchable. And when fate finally brings them face to face again, Alexander realizes the devastating truth: Some mistakes can never be undone. But some loves refuse to die.

Eleven years after his life shattered in Chicago, Chris has rebuilt himself carefully in San Francisco: controlled, independent, untethered. He teaches ethics and law. He boxes too hard. He keeps people at a distance. And he has absolutely no interest in anything that looks remotely permanent. Then a work trip to Mexico drops Marisol into his life. Within days they're tangled in hotel sheets, trading insults in two languages, and making the kind of reckless decisions that are only supposed to exist far from home. The problem isn't that Chris wants her again the moment he gets home. The problem is he assumed she lived two thousand miles away-not twenty minutes across the city. What begins as something casual quickly becomes impossible to contain, forcing Chris to confront the very thing he's dedicated years to avoiding: the possibility of staying. And just when he and Marisol finally stop pretending they haven't built something real together, the past Chris buried long ago comes looking for him.

Pixie was tired of her long string of failed relationships, so she decided to take love out of the equation and become an Alaskan mail-order bride. Stark was gruff and grumpy and definitely not looking for love after he lost the woman he loved. He and Pixie shared a common goal of wrestling a living out of the harsh Alaskan bush, and as they were learning to rely on each other, their tentative friendship turned to more. Until a secret from Stark's past came to interfere with his present.

I was the woman he loved. She was the woman he could never refuse. I stopped competing with Veronica the day I understood the truth: Adrian hadn't just let her into our lives, he'd built her a home inside the spaces meant for me. For two years, I was Claire Monroe. The safe and steady one. The woman Adrian Cole never had to worry about because she never made a scene, raised her voice, or asked for more than he was willing to give. Understanding. Patient. Reliable. I wore those words like armor, never realizing they were the very reasons he felt free to look away. And while I stayed quiet, Veronica Steele, the grieving family friend, the woman who wielded her sorrow like a blade, quietly took everything that should have been mine. Not his heart. No. Something worse. His presence. His attention. Every late-night conversation, every cancelled dinner, every moment he chose to be somewhere I wasn't. I learned the cost of that choice on the kitchen floor of our apartment, my body folding in on itself, my appendix rupturing as I whispered his name into a voicemail he wouldn't hear until it was too late. Adrian. Please. I need you. He was with her. Of course he was with her. I survived the surgery. But lying in that hospital bed, staring at the empty chair beside me, I finally understood something I should have known all along: There was no reason left to stay. So I stopped waiting. And only then, only when the door had already closed, did Adrian finally see the truth. But seeing and losing never happen in the right order. "Unfaithful Promise" is the story of a man who realized what he had only after he had nothing left to hold, and a woman who finally decided she would never again be someone's second choice. Some people don't recognize love until they're standing in the ruins of it.

We were friends with benefits. Reed would stop by every time he was in Anchorage, and that was the extent of things, although I started to want more. Then he ended our arrangement, and I suspected there was another woman, but it wasn't until I overheard a conversation that I understood completely. He thought I was calling and texting because I couldn't take no for an answer. That wasn't my problem at all. Two blue lines were.

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.

After many years of trying...and the pain of loss, I was finally pregnant. The night my sister got married, my husband drunkenly confessed to me that he had been in love with my sister for two years. I divorced him without talking to him. Now, two years later, I'm ready to listen.
