Title: Quietly, I Chose You Description: Quietly, I Chose You is a tender coming-of-age novel about friendship, first love, and the quiet courage it takes to grow up. Dria has always found comfort in windows, places where the world feels both close and distant, ordinary yet full of possibility. Starting Grade 8, she chooses the window seat, unknowingly stepping into a year that will stretch her heart in ways she never expected. Sitting beside Alvin, her quiet, effortless friend, Dria discovers the small joys of everyday life: shared notes, library whispers, rainy walks, and laughter that feels like home. As their friendship deepens, Dria begins to notice subtle, unspoken currents between them-a flutter of jealousy, a pulse of longing, a tenderness she can only explore in the margins of her notebook. She navigates the challenges of school, small betrayals, and the ache of absence, all while learning how to grow independently without losing the people who matter most. When Alvin faces the possibility of moving away, Dria must decide whether to speak her heart or risk losing her chance forever. With courage, patience, and quiet determination, she discovers that love isn't always loud or dramatic-it can be patient, steadfast, and chosen slowly, over and over again. Quietly, I Chose You is a heartfelt story about noticing the small details, cherishing meaningful connections, and learning that the bravest choices are sometimes the quietest ones. ---

She married the man of her dreams-then his first love came back. Now Amara has to decide: stay and fight for a man who never chose her, or finally choose herself... and the boy from her past who always did. __________________________ On paper, Amara Lane has everything she ever prayed for: a handsome husband, a ring on her finger, and the powerful Lane family name. In reality? She's just the woman who came after. Her husband, Jace Lane, never stopped loving his first love-the flawless, untouchable Sienna Hart. When Sienna blows back into town as Jace's new business partner, his parents treat her like the real daughter-in-law while Amara is left swallowing backhanded comments and smiling through every cold family dinner. So Amara straightens her spine, fixes her lipstick, and tells herself she can compete. She'll be prettier, nicer, more perfect-anything to keep her marriage from slipping through her fingers. Then she runs into Eli Rivera-her almost, her what-if, the boy who chose distance over breaking her heart. Now he's back, successful, completely unimpressed by the Lane family's power games, and furious when he sees how Amara is being treated. As Jace flaunts Sienna like a trophy and his family pushes Amara to the edges of every room, Eli pulls her back to herself-reminding her of the girl who once knew she deserved more than being second best. When the truth about Jace and Sienna finally explodes, Amara has to choose: Keep bleeding for a man who never picked her first... or walk away and choose herself-even if it means choosing the man from her past who never stopped seeing her. Packed with family drama, emotional betrayal, and a slow-burning second-chance romance, Loving a Man Who Still Loves Her will drag you by the heart from chapter one and refuse to let go.
