A story about a smart woman who loves her husband, her son and her life. When she learns that her husband isn't the man she thought he was, she works on giving her son the life he deserves. It's also about a lying and cheating man, who thought he was clever enough to avoid honesty and accountability in his life. Sometimes making a mistake and then sincerely apologizing, just might just not be enough. "Mommy, why is daddy and that lady nakey hugging?" My son innocently and loudly asks, while his father seems to be trying to locate his pants. Spoiler alert, they are on the floor under my feet, by the door, not anywhere near where he and his 'nakey' friend are sprawled on the couch. The woman shrieks, Kayley and I both fumble for the light switch just as River hits the button for daddy's 'magic office windows', which are now fully visible to the entire office floor, and all 127 employees are staring at and sharing my horror as my husband and his whatever she is are naked and trying to get dressed. Well damn, happy Wednesday to me.

Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

She came home early. She shouldn't have. Noa Reevse is a therapist. She spends her days sitting across from people in the worst moments of their lives, holding their pain with both hands, and sending them home better. She is very good at it. She is also, it turns out, very good at not looking too closely at her own. Until the afternoon, she opens a door she was never supposed to open. Fifteen seconds. That's all she records. That's all she needs. And then, a week later, she puts on a burgundy dress, walks into her husband's televised political forum, and raises her hand. She has the video. She never has to play it. His silence does the work for her. "Hurricane Season" is about what happens after the worst imaginable betrayal, after the divorce papers are filed, after the woman who taught everyone else how to survive the unsurvivable has to figure out how to do it herself. For readers who need their protagonist to be the storm.

In the glittering high society of Syvelle Quay, power is the only currency that matters. To save her family's fading legacy, Amelia was traded. Her father secured a seat at the table by marrying her off to Marcus Vail, the ambitious heir to the city's third-most powerful empire. While Marcus climbs the social ladder, he leaves a trail of betrayals in his wake, breaking his marriage vows as easily as he signs contracts. Amelia is a wife in name only, a beautiful trophy kept in a cage, her heart shattering a little more with every headline of her husband's latest scandal, and her father's temperament. In a city where rank is everything, she is about to discover that the only thing more dangerous than losing her status is finally finding her voice.

When Piper leaves the city to take over her grandmother's beloved bakery, she's expecting early mornings, flour-dusted hands, and a chance to rebuild something meaningful. What she doesn't expect is Flynn- the charming, steady regular who quickly becomes the best part of her day, and then her life. For a while, it's easy. Effortless. Real. Until Harriett comes back. Flynn's childhood best friend crashes back into town, and within seventy two hours, everything Piper thought she knew begins to unravel. Boundaries blur, truths twist, and one moment overheard is enough to shatter the fragile trust Piper had been building. Walking away should be simple. Necessary, even. But Flynn isn't ready to let her go. Not when he finally understands what he's about to lose. Determined to make things right, Flynn is forced to confront the loyalty he's clung to for years, and the damage it's caused. Because winning Piper back won't take words. It will take tearing down everything he thought mattered and proving, step by painful step, that she comes first. In a story about love, loyalty, and the courage to choose differently, Piper must decide if broken trust can ever be rebuilt, or if some betrayals leave behind nothing but bitter truths.

She walked into my bar with a fake name and eyes that carried centuries of expectation. I don't know why a woman like her-refined, controlled, clearly hiding from a past that spans oceans-is sleeping in the spare room of my Queens loft. She says she's a nobody. But I watch the way she holds a wine glass. The way a British accent slips into her vowels when she's tired. The way she stands like she's never had to slouch for survival. My name is Noah Thorne. I'm a bar manager. I'm loyal. I'm a protector. And I'm about to become the only thing standing between her and the people who want her back in a cage. They call her the Golden Bird. But they forgot the most important rule: Cages break. And when they do, I'll be the one to teach her how to fly.
