They think love will make me forget. They're wrong.

Liam and Lexi fall in love before they ever meet. When they see each other, the bond between them doesn't hesitate. It snaps into place-unmistakable, permanent, and consuming. A mating bond neither of them can deny. Their connection solidifies in pieces-voices in the dark, shared confessions, laughter that feels intimate. Liam chooses Lexi openly. He builds a life beside her, shares a bed, a home, a future that feels real in his hands. He loves her with devotion, with tenderness, with the certainty of someone who knows she is his. And still, Knox is always there. Knox is Liam's best friend, his brother in everything but blood, the one he has protected since childhood. For a long time, Knox's pain is loud and needy, and even as he begins to heal, Liam doesn't know how to stop making room for him. So he keeps inviting him in. Into their home. Into their routines. Into the quiet spaces where Lexi thought it would finally be just the two of them. Liam never sees it as choosing Knox over Lexi. To him, it's loyalty. Habit. Love that existed first. To Lexi, it feels like being mated-yet never fully alone with her mate. This is a story about a bond that is unbreakable-and a boundary that keeps being crossed. About loving someone who means well, but doesn't realize that presence can be a kind of betrayal. About learning that choosing your mate isn't a single decision. it's something you have to do every day, especially when the past keeps knocking at the door. ***this story explores mating bonds in humans as a cultural norm. There are no werewolves or supernatural beings in this world***

Julian Blackwood had everything, power, wealth, and influence. Except the only woman who stood by him when nothing else mattered. Mira never cared about his empire. She only wanted his presence. When she left, there was no drama, no tears, and no shouting. She just walked away. That was when Julian realized the bitter truth. Love does not end with noise. It dies in the quiet, the moment it is taken for granted. Now, as secrets unravel and hidden truths surface, Julian must confront his past, his failures, and the woman he made feel completely replaceable. This is not a story of winning her back. It is the story of a man trying to become worthy of her.

**PREVIEW ONLY** Dr. Indiana "Indie" Miller never believed in fairy tales. How could she? Everything she ever accomplished was paid for in blood, sweat, and will. Emancipated at sixteen, she put herself through medical school while juggling three jobs, and built a life around one simple truth - that no one was coming to save her. Then her favorite patient introduces Indie to her grandson. And Teddy Williams is everything Indie never dared to dream of. Kind, steadfast, and completely devoted to her. He's the kind of man who notices the little things and looks at her like she's the only woman in the world. There's only one problem. Teddy's overbearing mother hates her. Thankfully, Nana Ellie is there to shield Indie from the worst of it, and despite the tension, Teddy and Indie fall deeper and deeper in love. Two years later, they're on the verge of forever and preparing to move to New Jersey for Indie's dream job at Bluewater Cancer Center. But when Nana Ellie dies, the woman who loved Indie like family is gone. Teddy's mother, Dawn, has spent his entire life making herself the center of it, and she has no intention of letting Indie take her place. Every mispronounced name, every crossed boundary, every cruel little comment is designed to prove one thing - Indie does not belong with him. As the pressure builds and the disrespect becomes impossible to ignore, Teddy finds himself caught between the family he was raised to put first and the woman he loves more than anything. He chooses wrong. And he loses Indie. Without her, Teddy is forced to face the truth of his choices. That his mother's love was never love at all, it was guilt, control, and enmeshment. And if he wants any chance of winning Indie back, he'll have to do more than apologize - he'll have to become the man she deserved all along. Because Indie Miller is done waiting for a fairy tale. This time, she's going to make one for herself.

My husband, Mark, is a good man; he's a strong man. When I needed him to step up with our kids as I finished dental school, he became our little family's rock without ever complaining or being bitter. He owned late-night feedings and diaper changes like a champ while I slept so I could be prepared for my classes in the morning. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. He's working hard on a high-profile case that could change the trajectory of his career if he wins this case. In marriage, sometimes a little sacrifice is needed, which is why on our tenth wedding anniversary, like the past six months, I'm celebrating alone, a sacrifice I'm more than willing to give to the man who's so proudly stood by my side all these years. That is until this betrayal . . . . . . well, let's just say it was never a sacrifice I was willing to make. For Readers: *This story is a novella.

Blurb: Melody and Micah Whitley have built a life together in the small town of Valley Falls. They fell in love in college, where Micah was a star baseball pitcher-until a shoulder injury ended his dreams of the major leagues. Melody is used to standing beside the people she loves, adjusting when plans change. She and her sister grew up in foster care, and when Dana passed away, Melody stepped into motherhood when they adopted her niece, Daisy. When Micah agrees to help his childhood friend's sister, Audra, and her young son, Ben, he sees it as an opportunity to pay back an old debt. Micah invests deeply in Ben's life, but as his attention shifts, Melody and Daisy are pushed aside, and the marriage begins to strain under the weight of unspoken grief, unmet needs, and blurred boundaries. Note: There are mentions of infertility, adoption, foster care, grief, addiction/self-harm and death of a non-main character. There is no physical cheating, but there is some OW drama and emotional betrayal/infidelity. Christian and faith themes woven throughout.
