Sutton never expected to see Jaxon again. Fifteen years ago, the man she loved walked away without an explanation, leaving her to pick up the pieces of a shattered heart and build a life on her own. Now a successful nurse and devoted mother, Sutton has spent years convincing herself she no longer needs the boxer who broke her. Jaxon has spent fifteen years living with regret. When fate throws them back into each other's lives, old wounds are ripped open and long-buried secrets come to light. As the truth about the past finally begins to unravel, Sutton and Jaxon must decide whether some heartbreaks are too deep to heal-or whether love deserves one last round. A second-chance romance filled with heartbreak, family, redemption, and the kind of love that refuses to stay buried.

Hollywood Series Book #1 For two years, the world watched us fall in love. Our romantasy series became a global obsession and suddenly everyone was interested in us. Interviews went viral. Edits got millions of views. Fans called our chemistry once in a generation and swore no one could fake the way he looked at me. I believed it too, the spark in his eyes, the passion in his touch, the care in his words. While we dated secretly for a year. Until a grainy image of his lip locked with an Ex went viral and I overheard him in a private meeting telling the producers he couldn't do this anymore. That he couldn't keep pretending to be interested in me. And suddenly I didn't know which moments belonged to the show and which ones never existed at all. But one thing was clear, I was just a part of his performance.

I stayed when I shouldn't have. I stayed through half-listened conversations and promises that disappeared the moment someone else needed him more. I told myself I was overthinking. That things would change eventually. So I learned how to swallow my discomfort. My loneliness. My doubts. Until everything fell apart. Now I can't stop wondering why it took almost losing my life to finally understand what I already knew all along: I should've left him long ago. .............

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.

What do you do when the man who promised forever keeps breaking you in private? When every "I love you" is a lie? When you find proof of not one affair but three? I stayed silent for six years. Then I left in the loudest silence he'd ever heard. One suitcase. All the evidence. My wedding ring is on top. Gone. This is the story of how I rebuilt myself-and how he watched me rise from the ashes of his betrayal.
