I was eighteen. He was thirty-one. He was my first. And whether he knew it yet or not, I was going to be his last. After losing the only person who ever felt like home, Trinity is sent from the Bronx to a quiet farm in rural Georgia to live with relatives she barely knows. Everyone tells her it's a chance to heal. She isn't looking for healing. She's just trying to make it through tomorrow. Then she meets Arthur Brandreth. Thirty-one. Her aunt's brother. The man who worked in the farm with his own hands. Quiet. Disciplined. Impossible to read. Arthur keeps everyone at arm's length. Except somehow, not her. He never treats Trinity like she's broken. He never treats her like she's a child. And every stolen glance, every accidental touch, every moment spent alone blurs the line between comfort and temptation. She knows better than to want him. He knows better than to want her. But grief has a way of making people reach for the one thing they should never have. In a town where everyone believes they're saving Trinity, no one notices she's falling for the one man she can never have. Because some kinds of love heal you. And some ruin you so quietly, you mistake them for fate.

Alessia Moretti is an Italian mafia princess. Falling in love with a war veteran turned bartender in New York was never part of the plan. Love wasn't supposed to survive the mafia. Noah Thorne has spent years trying to leave the battlefield behind. Haunted by the invisible wounds of war, he finds comfort in the familiar rhythm of tending bar, convinced that a quiet life is all he'll ever need-until Alessia Moretti walks through the door. Beautiful, guarded, and hiding far more than her name, Alessia Moretti is desperate to escape the violent legacy she was born into. For the first time in her life, she dares to imagine a future that isn't written in blood. But the Moretti name is one that can never truly be left behind. As old enemies emerge from the shadows and buried secrets threaten to destroy everything, Noah is pulled into a brutal world where loyalty is bought with blood, betrayal wears a familiar face, and every choice carries a deadly price. The deeper he falls for Alessia, the more impossible it becomes to protect the woman he loves without losing himself. While one couple fights for a future beyond violence, another is forced to confront the unbearable weight of duty, sacrifice, and a love that was never allowed to exist freely. Some families inherit fortunes. The Morettis inherit wars. And sometimes, the greatest act of love isn't surviving together-it's choosing each other even when the world demands everything in return. If Still is an emotionally gripping romantic suspense about healing after loss, found family, impossible choices, and discovering that even in the darkest corners of the world, love remains the one thing worth fighting for.

A man who thinks he lost the love of his life. A woman who believes she can never be chosen. A little girl who simply wants a mother. Five years ago, Brian Garcia lost everything. The woman he loved disappeared without warning, leaving behind a daughter he never knew existed. Since then, Brian has devoted every piece of himself to raising little Addie, convinced that love is nothing more than another promise destined to leave. The only constant in their lives has been Mylie Wise-Addie's beloved Aunt Mylie. Kind, brilliant, and fiercely devoted, Mylie has spent years helping Brian navigate single fatherhood while hiding a secret she's sworn she'll take to the grave: She's been in love with him for years. But Brian was once engaged to her identical twin sister. Loving him has always felt like the ultimate betrayal. Just as Brian begins to wonder if his heart might finally be ready to heal, fate introduces Ayana Knight-a stunning corporate strategist whose arrival forces Brian to question everything he thought he wanted. Torn between the future standing in front of him and the woman who has quietly stood beside him all along, Brian must confront the truth he has spent years avoiding. Because sometimes... the greatest love story isn't the one that begins with fireworks. It's the one that patiently waits until you're finally ready to see it.

Some marriages don't end because love disappears. They end because grief quietly replaces it. Layla Scott and Tristan Scott were once the couple everyone envied. She was the brilliant attorney who believed love could survive anything. He was the celebrated heart surgeon who promised to protect her heart forever. Together, they dreamed of building a family. Instead, they buried three babies. With every miscarriage, Layla disappears deeper into guilt, convinced her broken body has failed the man she loves. Tristan buries his own heartbreak behind endless surgeries, believing that carrying the weight alone is what a husband is supposed to do. Until the silence between them becomes louder than their vows. One moment of weakness shatters the fragile trust holding their marriage together. But the greatest betrayal doesn't end there. Because after the guilt... after the apologies... after promising himself it would never happen again... Tristan meets someone who understands the parts of him his wife no longer can. What begins as friendship slowly becomes the one place where he feels seen. And by the time he realizes he's fallen in love... his marriage is already over. If Only is a heartbreaking story about grief, emotional infidelity, forgiveness, and the impossible choices that follow when love collides with loss. Because sometimes the marriage doesn't end the day someone cheats. Sometimes it ends long before that. Sometimes, it ends the day two people stop grieving together.

Damian had never seen Carmen before but as soon as he sets his sight on the wholesome girl, he can't stop thinking about her.
