When the honest and kind Ream Oliveros crosses paths with Syl, he thought he finally met his woman. But he can't be more wrong when he finds out his supposed woman is married- and he unknowingly became her illicit lover. *** Ream Oliveros is a self-made man- honest, kind, and reliable. One night in Bali makes him think he finally met the woman of his dreams, but then Syl disappears the next day with no trace or means of contact. When fate allows him to meet her again, Ream is surprised to see how timid and submissive Syl became- a completely different person from the woman who made one night in Bali, all those months ago, magical. Discovering that she needs help against her family, Ream's sense of responsibility and care for her grows stronger and stronger each day he is more attached to her. But Syl is hiding something more than her family secret: she is cheating on her husband- with Ream. Ream is the other man to Mrs. Dinsyl Descartin-Davidson. Will his love for Syl overcome her betrayal and will Ream let her corrupt him? Or is she and their love not worth going against his principles? CECELIB | C.C.

🌊 This is the early draft of Rosehaven Secrets. The published edition is available now in ebook & paperback. Rosehaven seems like the perfect seaside escape-quiet streets, familiar faces, and lives shaped by routine. But beneath its calm surface, change is coming, and no one is as settled as they pretend. When author Ximena Gaytan arrives determined to focus on her work and leave her past behind, she never expects to become part of the town itself. Drawn into an unexpected circle of friendships, she finds her carefully guarded independence challenged by people who refuse to keep their distance. For reserved math professor Greg Walker, an unexpected discovery reshapes everything he thought he knew about family. Car mechanic Jaden Stone is determined to move beyond old mistakes, while cook Charlie Monroe learns that healing and love rarely follow a straight path. Fairgrounds manager Brian Connor carries the weight of legacy and responsibility, and candy maker Lewis Redmont fights to rebuild stability for the sons he loves. As relationships deepen and emotions grow complicated, buried truths resurface, loyalties are tested, and unsettling events suggest Rosehaven's secrets are far from buried. Here, love arrives quietly, and second chances take courage.
