Valeria Moretti vanished in a blaze of twisted metal and smoke ...or so the world believed. But the plane crash was her escape, her only path out of a marriage poisoned by betrayal. Two lives torn apart. But one, a woman finally free to choose herself and a love on her terms.

Julia Marcelli thought she'd won the dream. A husband who adored her, a family who lit up her world, and a home on the Miami coast that felt untouchable. But perfection has a way of splintering. Ethan Marcelli is a man who carries secrets as easily as he carries a case file, and when temptation slips into his world, Julia begins to sense cracks in their marriage she can't explain away. Love. Betrayal. Obsession. Control. In a life built on power and secrets, forever always comes with a price. (ETA The Silent Hour is now an omnibus edition, both books in a duet combined into one. This accounts for the higher chapter count. The story contains intense dark and graphic romance themes, crime-world elements, and later explicit steam. Please review the trigger warnings.)

Gemma Fletcher-Randolph's life looks perfect from the outside. She runs a historic observatory and nonprofit foundation, is married to a successful sports journalist, and comes from a respected Long Island family. But perfection fractures quietly. As her mother slips deeper into Alzheimer's and her father's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, Gemma is forced to confront truths no one prepared her for. A devastating accident leaves her father fighting for his life, uncovering long-buried secrets that threaten everything her family built, and everything she thought she knew. While Gemma holds her world together, her marriage begins to crack. Her husband's growing distance, immaturity, and selfishness surface at the worst possible time, leaving her isolated when she needs him most. Standing beside her is Riley McKay, the vineyard manager who has been her protector, confidant, and constant since childhood. As Gemma navigates grief, betrayal, and the unravelling of her family's legacy, the lines between friendship, loyalty, and something far more dangerous begin to blur. With secrets hidden in legal files, cryptic warnings from a mother losing her memory, and a marriage built on shaky ground, Gemma must decide what, and who, is worth holding onto. Sometimes the most painful falls lead to the clearest truths.

Just one night, just one time. ELENA I always believed Adrian was the one for me. Even when life kept us busy, we were happy. He showed his love in his own quiet ways, and I trusted that. I believed in us. Or maybe... I believed in the version of us I had built in my head. Until one night, a folder filled with secret messages shattered everything I once trusted. ADRIAN I thought I had everything. A woman I loved. A thriving career. A child we were about to welcome into the world. But one temptation from my past nearly destroyed everything I had built. Two years later, our marriage still stands. But forgiveness doesn't erase betrayal. And time doesn't always heal. Yet... could we ever truly come back?

The man I married broke me. Not because he didn't love me- but because he couldn't stay when grief moved in. Three pregnancies. Three losses. One marriage that shattered under the weight of everything we couldn't fix. And somewhere in the silence, in the distance I didn't know how to cross, he made a choice that broke what little I had left. If only I had known how fragile love could be. This is a story about loss that doesn't heal cleanly. About love tested in the quiet. About betrayal that doesn't come from hate-but from weakness. Sometimes heartbreak doesn't arrive all at once. Sometimes it happens slowly, while you're still trying to hold everything together.

"Gone are the days of whispered dreams under shared blankets and unspoken jokes that made us laugh until our stomachs hurt. We had once felt like two halves of a perfect whole, our love stitched together by time, trust, and a belief that we'd always be on the same path. But now, that path had split - quietly, slowly, like the shifting of tectonic plates." --- Stella and Vaughn have been married for three years - a relationship built on many years of love and trust. After meeting in college, they quickly became the center of one another's world, and got married straight after graduating. But things have changed. Gone are the days of late-night talks and spontaneous laughter. Now, silence fills the spaces where connection used to live. Stella often finds herself staring at Vaughn across the dinner table, or from opposite ends of the bed, wondering when the comfort of routine turned into the weight of distance. Vaughn, on the other hand, is too occupied to notice the shift. Too busy with numbers and securing deals, Vaughn never noticed his wife slipping away until she was already gone. Vaughn is determined to win her back, but will the combination of the past, family, and friends stand in the way?

Lies, and lies, deceit, betrayal and heartbreak. They say revenge is a dish better served cold we'll have a well prepared cold meal I am waiting to serve my lying cheating husband. Hope you stick around long enough to witness my sweet revenge. Payback is really a bitch. *Winks *
