Some marriages don't end because love disappears. They end because grief quietly takes its place. Layla Scott and Tristan Scott were once the couple everyone envied. She was a brilliant attorney who believed love could survive anything. He was a celebrated heart surgeon who vowed to protect her heart forever. Together, they dreamed of building a family. Instead, they buried three babies. Each loss leaves Layla drowning in guilt, convinced her broken body has failed the man she loves. Tristan hides his own heartbreak behind impossible work hours, believing that carrying the burden alone is what a husband is supposed to do. Until the silence between them becomes louder than their vows. When one devastating mistake shatters the fragile trust holding their marriage together, both Layla and Tristan are forced to confront a painful truth: Sometimes love isn't enough to save what grief has already broken. If Only is an emotionally charged story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and self-discovery-about two people learning that the greatest act of love isn't always holding on. Sometimes... it's finding the strength to let go.

Everyone remembers the man Tristan Scott used to be. No one saw the man he became... until a widow and her twins walked into his life. Dr. Tristan Scott has spent the last ten years believing some mistakes can never be forgiven. As one of the country's most respected cardiothoracic surgeons, he spends his days repairing broken hearts while refusing to believe his own deserves a second chance. Stephanie Miller never imagined she'd fall in love again. Three years after losing her husband, her world is simple: raising her six-year-old twins, honoring the love she lost, and protecting the life they built together. Love isn't part of the plan. Then life keeps placing the same man in their path. At first, he's simply Dr. T-the doctor the twins adore. Then he becomes the man who makes Sunday dinners feel a little warmer, quiet conversations last a little longer, and ordinary days feel extraordinary again. Slowly... Almost without anyone realizing it... A family of three begins making room for a fourth. But just as Tristan finally allows himself to imagine a future he never believed he deserved, life reminds him that tomorrow is never promised. Sometimes the greatest love story isn't about replacing the past. It's about becoming the person brave enough-and worthy enough-to begin again. If Again is a heartfelt slow-burn romance about redemption, healing, grief, found family, and discovering that sometimes the greatest second chance isn't falling in love again... It's earning it.

Naomi used to trust people easily-until the people she trusted most betrayed her. Her secrets were exposed, rumors spread, and the shame she experienced in secondary school changed the way she saw friendship forever. So Naomi made a promise to herself: never trust anyone again. Years later, she enters university determined to keep everyone at a distance. But then she meets Daniel, and slowly, she begins to let her walls down. One day, Daniel asks her a simple question: "Do you trust anyone?" "No," Naomi replies. "Do you know God?" "Yes." "Do you trust Him?" "Yes." Daniel looks at her and asks: "Then if you trust God, whom you can't even see physically, how can you say you can't trust anyone?" For the first time, Naomi begins to question the walls she has built around her heart. Maybe the people who betrayed her don't represent everyone. Maybe trust can be rebuilt. And maybe, after everything she's been through, she can still learn to trust-and be trusted again. ❤️📖

But what if she thought completely wrong? Abel Westbrook, a God-fearing military man, breaks the barrier Reign has around herself and shows her all God has planned for her, which includes marrying him... a month after they meet. Reign thought that marrying a man she hardly knew would be her biggest test of faith in Jesus yet, but marriage is forever and they both have a life-long of lessons to learn. The first one: it will always be in His hands. /// Bible Translations include AMP, CSB, ESV, NIV, NKJV, and NLT💛
