She loved him loudly. He loved her quietly-only when it was convenient. Leah believed two years of love meant security, a future, a place she could finally call hers. Yet, every time it mattered, he chose someone else. A best friend. A familiar comfort. A silence that hurts more than betrayal. This is a story about emotional neglect, unspoken loyalties, and the slow realization that love without priority is a form of loss. It asks a difficult question: How long can you stay where you are never fully chosen?

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.

We were friends with benefits. Reed would stop by every time he was in Anchorage, and that was the extent of things, although I started to want more. Then he ended our arrangement, and I suspected there was another woman, but it wasn't until I overheard a conversation that I understood completely. He thought I was calling and texting because I couldn't take no for an answer. That wasn't my problem at all. Two blue lines were.

She has one year to find a husband or lose everything. If marrying my best friend is the only way to save her, then I'm about to break every rule of our friendship to keep her. Amélie Dubois is a saint in designer clothes. She's the woman who runs a multinational medical foundation, the girl who treats her staff like family, and the only person who can make me forget I'm the captain of a professional football team. She's also the woman currently being sold off. Her parents have given her an ultimatum: marry a suitable candidate by her thirtieth birthday, or they'll pick one for her. For ten years, I've been her anchor. I've been the one she calls at 3:00 AM, the one who cleans up her messes, and the one who knows the tomboy hiding underneath her silk gowns. I've played the role of the "best friend" perfectly, mostly because the alternative-admitting that I'm obsessed with her-would blow up both of our lives. But watching her forced into a cage by her own family? That's not a line I'm willing to respect anymore. She thinks she's looking for a way out of her parents' plans. I'm just trying to figure out how to tell her that the "suitable candidate" she needs has been standing right in her corner the entire time. Ten years of friendship. One year to ruin it all. And a lifetime of secrets that are about to come to a head.

But now the man who once threw her away is suddenly desperate for another chance, willing to do anything to win her back.....

Evie was eighteen. Naive, curious, and still learning what it meant to cross the line. Dr. Haynes was forty-two. Brilliant, respected, married, and completely off-limits.

With the case closing in and the stakes higher than ever, he faces an impossible choice. How far is he willing to go to finish the mission he's sacrificed so much for? This time, the price of success won't be measured in years, careers, or half truths. It could cost him Tia, the family they've dreamed of, and everything that truly matters to him.
