I have a story to tell you. One about love-- the kind that swears forever under starlight... And the kind that leaves you waiting at 2:00 a.m. in a dress he'll never come home to see. Once, he kissed me like I was the only thing that made sense. Now he won't even look at me. The vows were real. The silence is louder. The bed is cold. I keep telling myself it's just another rough patch. But the candles burn out. The food goes cold. And his green eyes aren't soft anymore- just angry. One day, he stops coming home. One day, the doctor says words I can't unhear. One day, a stranger with hazel eyes asks if I'm okay. And I wish they were green. For a while. But this isn't a story about waiting. It's a story about finally walking away. About the woman who stayed too long- and the one she chose to become after. Live it with me. Won't you? #2 Discovery (02/14/2026) #2 triangle (02/14/2026) #1 rollercoaster (02/19/2026) #1 marriageincrisis (06/22/2026)

Here's a romance-style blurb: Lily Carter has spent her entire life alone. At twenty-four, she works long hours in a small café, lives in a run-down apartment, and expects nothing from anyone. No family. No friends. No one waiting for her at the end of the day. She's learned that the only person she can rely on is herself. Then one rainy night, everything changes. A car accident leaves Lily with a concussion, a broken arm, and a one-way trip to the emergency department. There she meets Dr. Victoria Hayes-a brilliant trauma surgeon known for her confidence, her sharp tongue, and her unwavering control. Victoria has spent years keeping her emotions locked away behind professionalism. But there's something about the shy café worker that gets under her skin. When Lily is discharged and Victoria discovers there's no one coming to take her home, she can't ignore the protective instinct demanding she step in. What begins as a single night of care quickly becomes something neither woman expected. As Victoria finds herself wanting to protect Lily from a world that has given her nothing, Lily begins to experience feelings she's never had before-feelings that challenge everything she thought she knew about herself. Because for the first time in her life, someone is choosing to stay. And Victoria Hayes has never been very good at walking away from something she wants. A slow-burn sapphic romance featuring forced proximity, hurt/comfort, found family, a possessive doctor who falls first, and a shy woman learning that she deserves to be loved.

They tell me love is a pretty lie. A cruel deception. I wouldn't know-I've never been given the chance to believe in it. A daughter of the Cosa Nostra, passed from one husband to the next like a prized possession, I have learned one thing: a woman's value is measured in obedience. But then I come back, and he's there. Enzo Mancini. Silent. Ruthless. Untouchable. Except... I have touched him. Once, before the lies. Before the fire. Before he left me with nothing but ghosts of a boy who used to stare at me like I was his only sin. Now, he looks at me like I'm his reckoning. Like he's been starving. Like he'll ruin me all over again. The worst part? I want him to. Enzo Mancini She was never supposed to know the truth of that night. The blood on my hands. The fact that I let her believe I was the monster. I told myself I could let her go. That I could watch her slip through my fingers, fall into the hands of men who never deserved her. And I did. She doesn't know what I've done for her. How many bodies I've buried. How many sins I've committed in her name. She's everything I should stay away from. Soft where I am hard. Chaos where I am order. A temptation so dangerous, it should be a death sentence. But I can't stop. I can't stop watching her, wanting her, losing sleep over the way she lingers like a curse in the nightmares she inhabits. She calls me heartless, and like everyone, I let her believe it. She doesn't know that every step she takes away from me is another step toward a man who won't live long enough to touch what's mine. I saved her from the fire long ago, the same one I caused. And now, the flames are swallowing me whole. 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

Havenwood #2 What should your fiance do when you called him because you crashed his favourite car? Ask how are you, if you're hurt, if you called 911 and more concerned filled words. What did he say though? He exploded, frustratedly, without asking me if I was severely hurt. I wasn't then, but I got hurt by the man my car bumped with, who beat me up thoroughly bad, I fainted right after. I always knew he loved his cars more than anything, but his words wounded me more than the man who attacked me. And with one horrifying incident I could see things clearly now. Maybe I had mistaken value all along, thinking I mattered more than his cars.
