Alexander didn't cheat. He just gave someone else his attention, his laughter, and the smiles that used to belong to his wife. And she watched him drift, not to another woman's bed, but to her presence. Her laugh. The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people. Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along. Eight years of marriage. One little boy who loved them both. And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous. The third - he called her insecure. So she stopped warning him altogether. And stopped waiting. Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.

He married her for revenge. She didn't expect to crave the touch of the man who hated her. A loveless girl. A vengeful man. One marriage that was never meant to feel real. Katherina's life has been anything but a fairytale-haunted by a mother's death she's blamed for, unloved by a father who resents her, and bruised by a stepmother who makes sure she never forgets it. She thought turning 21 would finally set her free. She was wrong. Zade walks into her world with ice in his eyes and revenge in his mind. He doesn't love her. In fact, he despises her. But he needs her-and he'll make her his, no matter the cost. Their marriage is supposed to be fake. Their hate is supposed to keep them apart. But the line between hate and love is razor-thin. And when she lets her guard down, he shatters her heart, leaving her in pieces. When someone else steps in, offering her a chance at everything she's ever dreamed of, she's torn between the man who broke her and the one who's been waiting in the shadows. But the past never stays buried for long, and when the truth is finally out will they both be able to bear consequences of the choices they made? "He promised to ruin her. But somewhere along the way, she became his undoing."

The night Rosy was born, a comet passed over the earth. Only visible from a handful of states, clouds filling the skies, it was a miracle her mother saw it through the window of the ambulance. But she not only saw it, she named her baby girl after it. Rosy's comet. It only visited once every eleven years. However, after her mother pulled a runner, Rosy's father dedicated the first eleven years of her life to a thorough education in fear and disappointment. He put on a good front, but when the doors were closed, the masks came off. The next time Rosy's comet passed overhead, the world she knew came crashing down. But she survived, and that's what mattered - even if she only had the stars, her sisters, and Grube left to guide her. And then there was Luke, her unexpected angel of hope who'd kept her fighting when it seemed impossible, who'd picked her up in the aftermath of her darkest moments. He'd shown her what real love looked like, what it felt like. And she'd fallen for him slowly, steadily, until she'd lost sight entirely of where her soul ended and his began. But on the night everything was supposed to change, the night they were supposed to start their forever, the night Rosy's comet returned for a third time - Luke, her best friend, her confidante, the love of her life... her groom... didn't show. And Rosy discovered firsthand that there's only so much disappointment a soul can take before the damage becomes irreversible. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven (2) To Destroy a Raven (3) To Betray a Raven (4) To Crave a Raven (5) To Lose a Raven Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

Abandoned by her mother and orphaned by her father, Jeden was left behind, the oldest of her sisters. She'd dedicated her life to looking after them; but now they've grown up, they've found their partners, they're moving on... and Jeden remains. Exactly where she's always been - working her days away at the restaurant just to return home to her silent, lonely apartment. Jeden longed for a partner, a family, a home; but she knew it wasn't in the cards. She was thirty-two and had never been asked on a date - for it seemed opinionated women with severe limps and glasses that looked like binoculars weren't exactly stealing the spotlight in any sane man's fantasies. Jeden was strong, self-assured... but she was also realistic, and exhausted. To shake things up, she made a decision on a whim to buy the home she'd always wanted in the suburbs. But instead of raining men, she suddenly developed a much less appetizing problem - a fucking HOA. Sick and tired of accepting the hand life dealt, she agrees to team up with her chatty neighbor to fight back against the resident egomaniacs... However, she never thought it would lead to feelings she'd never experienced or ignite a passion she didn't know existed. And as soon as she began to give in... to accept the exhilarating, wondrous experience of being craved... it culminated in a fallout that Jeden, in her trusting naivety, could have never seen coming. ---- HEA.

Nellie Raven's favorite thing to do was crochet. Despite her community-wide notoriety for causing trouble, her desires in life were actually quite simple. She wanted security, she wanted a family, and she wanted yarn - in no particular order. And when she met Connor Bree, a single father with a passion for life that matched her own, she thought she'd finally found the place where her heart belonged. Nellie was a born fighter whose loyalties ran deep - and she was prepared to fight for what she'd found with Connor. That is, until the day she found herself in the midst of a misunderstanding that she couldn't control; and she learned precisely where Connor's true loyalties belonged. Faced with the betrayal of the man she loved, Nellie is forced to confront just how far her loyalty will stretch - before it snaps irrevocably. And when Connor is slapped with his own dose of reality, he's about to discover exactly how far a Raven is capable of taking a grudge. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven - complete (2) To Destroy a Raven - complete (3) To Betray a Raven - complete (4) To Crave a Raven - complete (5) To Lose a Raven - coming Fall 2025 Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

This novella has been removed as it's being edited for publication to Kindle. The original draft version is currently available to read with a FREE membership on the Hive Mind Creators Patreon. Overlooked, average, forgettable, quiet - a selection of the nicer words used to describe Samantha Raven. Being born into the world of drugs and crime, Sam's education in self-sufficiency began at birth. Even after being transferred into the care of the stalwart Raven household, she held tightly to the hard lessons learned throughout her childhood - such as the advantages to being underestimated, the cruel machinations of kindness, and the safety in silence. So when Henry Williams stumbled into her life, the epitome of sweet and sincere, she was inherently suspicious. And when her suspicions were confirmed through the accidental discovery of a business deal hinging on the results of a bet - Sam came to the realization that she was sick of playing the pawn. It would take a hell of a lot more than a bet to destroy this Raven - and it was past time that she became the main character of her own life, beginning with a healthy dose of revenge. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven - complete (2) To Destroy a Raven - complete (3) To Betray a Raven - complete (4) To Crave a Raven - complete (5) To Lose a Raven - coming Fall 2025 Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

Echo wasn't like her sisters. She knew that when people talked about the famous and fabulous Reid sisters, they weren't referring to her. Quiet, homely, plain and riddled with social anxiety that made it hard for her to leave the house, she could never have known what was about to happen, she never dreamed she'd live such an adventure. Luke Farina was the most dangerous man around- spoiled, selfish, extremely conceited- he didn't take no for an answer and always got what he wanted. He just never expected that the strange and ridiculous little Echo would be the one to say no and somehow become the one he had to have most. -- NOTE: Hi everyone! I really hope you take the time to read this story. It's already complete for the most part, in just taking it slow in publishing it. It's my first story and I'd love to hear your comments and feedback. I hope you decide to give it a chance! This is also part one of a series and I'm already midway through the next book which can't be released unless this one gets some positive feedback. Thank you and enjoy!
