Dane always said love was like a puzzle: you start with the edges, build a frame, and trust the rest will fall into place. For years, he and Callidora fit perfectly, until his loyalty to his late friend's little sister became the missing piece that didn't belong. What began as compassion twisted into late-night calls, quiet rescues, and promises he had no right to make. When Calli reaches her limits, his apologies are desperate, his love real, but the picture they'd built together had already been pulled apart. Can Dane convince Calli that the picture they once started is still worth finishing, or has their puzzle already fallen apart for good?

He was her first kiss, her first love, her forever. Together, they built a perfect life - married after high school, raised two beautiful boys together, and were still blissfully in love. Until, slowly, Atlas began to pull away. Wendy did everything she could to keep their marriage from unraveling-juggling the house, the kids, and all the quiet, invisible labor no one thanks her for. But when Atlas fails to show up to their final resort therapy session, Wendy makes a different choice - she stops waiting for him. Determined to take her life back, Wendy gets a job, rediscovering her independence and finding unexpected freedom in a world where she no longer carries the weight for both of them.

But to heal their fractured marriage, Atlas will have to face the real reason he pulled away... And what does it have to do with his brother's late wife, Carrie? A marriage-in-trouble second chance romance. No cheating, HEA always.

Running from hell is hard - especially when the devil you married refuses to let you go. To the world, my husband is perfection. CEO. Philanthropist. Gentleman. To me, he's the monster who taught me that love can burn worse than fire. He always put everything else first - his company, his ambition, even her. I was never enough. So I left. But he's not the kind of man who accepts endings. Now he wants to make things right, to atone for the years he destroyed me. Only this time, his enemies have followed him home - and the man I once loved has become a stranger wearing his face. Because maybe he was never mine to begin with. Maybe I was only ever his penance.

Olivia was everything to Xander Thorne-his reason to breathe, the center of his world. She was the bright light in his dark empire, the promise of a life he never thought he could have. Their love was all-consuming, fierce and tender, built on whispered dreams of a future they'd both believed in. But when Olivia was framed for a betrayal she never committed, everything they shared was put to the ultimate test. Instead of standing by her side, Xander let doubt and fury blind him. In a single night, he tore apart the life they had built-burning not only her art but the memories that meant everything to her. Now, standing in the wreckage of what they once shared, he sees the truth. And it's enough to break him. Because Olivia wasn't just his wife, wasn't just the woman he'd built his future around-she was the air he breathed, the blood in his veins. And without her, he's nothing. He'll do anything, risk everything to win her back. To prove that what they had wasn't just a dream lost to ash. Because she's still his world. And he won't stop fighting for her, no matter how much she hates him.

Selene Moreau was never just a wife-she was the kingmaker. While the world saw a graceful First Lady, beneath the polished smile lived a woman who had sacrificed everything to put Alexander Moreau in the Oval Office. She shaped his image, orchestrated his rise, and made him untouchable. Then he betrayed her. When the mistress emerges, when whispers of scandal grow too loud to ignore, when the man she built tries to erase her-Selene doesn't crumble. She evolves. Moving through Washington's halls like a ghost, she turns allies into enemies and secrets into weapons. But in a city where power is everything, nothing is as it seems. A dangerous billionaire circles like a predator. A rival waits in the shadows for their moment to strike. And Alexander's mistress? She's a wound he won't let heal-and a threat Selene won't let live. Every player has their own game. Selene is playing for keeps. As the stakes rise and the walls close in, the question isn't how far she'll go to reclaim her life-but what kind of woman she'll become when the reckoning comes. In Washington, when the throne crumbles, only the ruthless survive to claim what remains.
