Three years ago, Charlotte Jameson walked away from a love that broke her heart-and took a secret with her: she was pregnant. Now, at a friend's wedding, her past collides with the present when she sees Ethan Hayes again... and he sees her daughter. A daughter with his eyes. Ethan wants answers. Charlotte wants to protect the life she's built. But the truth won't stay buried-and as Ethan discovers the child he never knew he had, both must confront old wounds, shattered trust, and the fragile hope of starting over. Can two people who lost everything find their way back to each other-and build something stronger from the ruins? A heartwarming second-chance romance about forgiveness, healing, and the kind of love that grows deeper when it's tested by time.

Across Europe, Alessandro De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia, is renowned for his intellect and unwavering loyalty. Emotionally sincere but autistic-coded, he struggles to navigate the world of feelings, yet he approaches Anastasia not to tame her, but to stand beside her. As fire and blood threaten to engulf both families, Stasya must reconcile duty, desire, and trust. Alessandro must learn to love not by control, but by devotion. Together, they navigate a dangerous dance of violence, politics, and heart, where every choice carries the weight of life-and death. Bound by loyalty. Tested by war. United by choice.

Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks. A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind? ••• Ch. 39 Excerpt "Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him. Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply. Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat. "To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.
