Iris Mercer was never meant to be loved. Not in that marriage. Not by a man like Elliot Graves. It was supposed to be an arrangement. It became a year of shared silence that was never empty, of touches that were careful not to want too much, and a love that grew anyway, stubborn and deep. Then Elliot forgot her. The accident took the year that belonged to her. It left Elliot with memories of another woman, a different life. A life before Iris. He remembers nothing of the marriage that changed him. Iris remembers it all. She watches her husband move through their home in a body that knows her but a mind that does not. She hears Elliot's voice form another man's words. She grieves for a love that existed only in a single, stolen year, because some kinds of love are not repeated. They are built once, and lost forever. This story contains explicit intimacy, strong language, emotional trauma, and themes of memory loss, manipulation, and familial abuse. Intended for mature readers only.

What We Survived Some love stories don't break loudly. They fracture quietly-through silence, guilt, misunderstandings, and the things left unsaid. Mara thought walking away would save her. Caleb thought loving her harder would fix everything. An accident changes the course of their lives. A betrayal forces the truth into the open. A baby arrives when nothing feels certain. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about broken vows, hospital corridors, therapy rooms, and the slow, painful work of choosing each other again. About guilt that lives in the body. About forgiveness that doesn't come easily. About love that survives-not because it's simple, but because it refuses to die. What We Survived is a raw, emotional slow-burn about marriage, loss, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to stay.

Ellie spent years rebuilding her life after public humiliation, loss, and betrayal at the hands of Renzo Bellavere - the golden boy who destroyed her family and never looked back. Now fate has bound them together. In a world where mates are sacred and refusal is taboo, Ellie must navigate a bond she never consented to, a society that demands compliance, and a man who believes destiny absolves everything he's done. This is not a story about instant forgiveness. It's about autonomy. About survival. And about what it takes to reclaim yourself when even fate is against you. FYI: this story explores mating bonds in an everyday world very similar to ours. They are not werewolves or vampires. Just humans with mating bonds!
