For years, Kate has been defined by her illness. Through every diagnosis, flare, setback, and disappointment, her husband Kevin was there beside her. So when he suddenly announces that he's accepted a months-long overseas assignment, Kate finds herself feeling conflicted, abandoned, and alone for the first time in over a decade. Realizing she'd lost herself somewhere between tracking good days and bad days, Kate sets out to reclaim the parts of herself she left behind-her dreams, her confidence, and her independence. With her brother Mike's return from military service on the horizon and an unexpected reunion with his longtime best friend Tom, Kate begins to imagine a future that looks very different from the life she was living. With Tom's help she even tackles something she thought she'd never do when she signs up for a running club. But the more she changes, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing cracks in the life she built-and the possibility that some relationships survive only as long as the people inside them aren't growing. When she and Kevin are reunited and the future she thought she had begins to unravel, Kate discovers that the hardest part of a race isn't learning how to keep going-it's figuring out where you're supposed to stop running.

Twenty-six years ago, Elise McNeil's life fell apart in a hospital room. While she struggled through labor with their son, her husband Bernard Carpenter was nowhere to be found. Neither was her best friend, Jasmine Daniels. By the time Bernard finally arrived, Elise already knew the truth. The betrayal destroyed her marriage and shattered the life she thought she was building. Forced to start over, Elise rebuilt herself from the ground up. Raised her son, Isaiah, started a successful event-planning company, and learned to survive without depending on anyone else. Love became the last thing on her mind. Then she met Julian Mercer. After losing his wife, Maureen, to a long illness, Julian spent years emotionally frozen in grief. Before they could build the family they dreamed of, she was gone, leaving him trapped between memory and loneliness. Now Maureen's family wants an elaborate memorial event filled with wealth, prestige, and appearances. But Julian wants something far more meaningful. He wants people to remember the woman she truly was. When Elise is hired to coordinate the event, an unexpected connection begins to grow between two people who thought love belonged in the past. What begins as understanding slowly turns into friendship, attraction, and something deeper neither of them expected. But old betrayals do not stay buried forever. Family tensions, jealousy, grief, and unresolved wounds threaten to destroy the fragile happiness they are only beginning to find. Because sometimes the life you rebuild becomes more beautiful than the one you lost.

She woke up two days later in a stranger's cottage, broken and alone, while the pack was told she'd simply... left. Now, with her wolf barely breathing and her heart in pieces, Aelia has to figure out who she is when everything she built her world around turns out to be a lie. And why does the one person sitting in her corner happen to be an Alpha she's never met before? Some bonds break you. Some forge you into something stronger.

After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks. Updates Tuesdays and Fridays at Noon (Pacific)
