Nine Months to Forever Sofía Rojas has built a quiet christian life for herself in New York City, far from the streets of her childhood in Mexico. But when she receives devastating news that her beloved grandmother has only nine months left to live, she returns home, determined to spend every precious moment by her side. Her grandmother has one final wish. She wants Sofía to marry Leonardo Torres-the boy Sofía once loved with all her heart. Now a powerful, arrogant businessman, Leonardo is nothing like the kind-hearted teenager she remembers. He's guarded, intimidating, and just as unwilling to marry as she is. Yet out of love and respect for the woman who helped shape both their lives, neither of them can bring themselves to refuse her dying wish. Bound by a marriage neither of them chose, Sofía and Leonardo must navigate old wounds, buried feelings, and the expectations of two families who believe they were always meant to be together. As nine months slip away, what begins as a promise to a grandmother becomes a journey of forgiveness, healing, and a love that refuses to stay in the past. Sometimes forever begins with a promise you never wanted to make.

Silent chains An Obedient Girl. A Dangerous Man. A Silence Too Loud to Ignore. Aarya has never spoken a word. A twenty one year old Born mute and forbidden by her cruel family to learn sign language, her life has always been quiet - not peaceful, but silenced. Hidden away in an attic, unloved and abused while her stepsister is pampered like royalty, Aarya's only survival tool is obedience. She never questions, never resists... until one night, fate places her in the wrong place at the worst time. She witnesses a brutal murder committed by the city's most feared mafia boss, Luca De Rossi - a twenty eight year old man known for leaving no witnesses alive. But when he finds her cowering in fear, trembling and tear-streaked, he spares her life. Barely. A story of forced proximity, power and vulnerability, slow-burning connection, and a girl who can't speak... but says everything without words. ---
