Harley and Skyler were supposed to be unbreakable. But when a housing disaster forces them under his parents' roof, the cracks in their foundation shatter wide open. Suddenly, their sanctuary is a war zone. Skyler's mother isn't just difficult; she's cruel, branding Harley "unclean" while aggressively pushing Skyler toward his perfect, pliable ex-fiancée, Amanda. But the real knife in the back isn't his mother's malice, it's Skyler's silence. Desperate to keep the peace, Skyler lets his family trample his fiancée. He ignores the insults. He ignores Harley's tears. He even allows them to invite Amanda to their wedding. Harley begged him to be a husband. He chose to be a dutiful son. So, at the altar, Harley makes a choice of her own. In front of their guests, she leaves him standing, choosing her dignity over a lifetime of coming second. Now, the shock has finally severed Skyler's strings. He's cut off his family and is crawling back, desperate to prove he's the man she needs. But Harley knows the truth: a diamond ring is replaceable. Trust is not. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon. Otherwise, you can read the full, and polished book when it releases on KU Spring of 2026).⭐

"He had seven years to regret. She had seven years to forget." Seven years ago, Masie Sinclair walked away from a grand proposal - the one she'd always dreamed of - from the boy she loved. She left her hometown with a shattered heart and a fierce determination to build her own life. Now a successful interior designer in the city, Masie lives a life where she answers to no one. Her days are filled with projects and renovations, her nights with quiet solitude. But one unexpected phone call shatters that peace, forcing her to return to the place she swore she'd never set foot in again. To inherit her grandparents' estate, Masie must meet one painful condition set by her dying mother: she must renovate the town's most luxurious hotel. The catch? The hotel belongs to Noah Kingsley - the boy whose proposal she rejected. Noah, the man who once broke her heart, now stands before her, determined to make amends. Old wounds reopen, and long-buried truths surface. As memories collide with the present, Masie must decide if the love that once destroyed her is worth risking her heart again - or if it's finally time to let go. And Noah? He's determined to prove his love. This time, he won't let her go. A story of heartbreak, redemption, and second chances, Seven Years to Regret is a deeply emotional romance about finding the courage to face the past, the strength to love yourself, and the belief in a future worth fighting for.
