Anna Rafferty left New York two years ago to find herself. Not because she was running. Not because she was afraid. But because somewhere between the violence, the secrets, and the trauma that changed her life, she'd lost herself. For two years, she built a life on her own terms. She traveled. She healed. She learned to preserve things most people considered beyond repair, restoring rare books and forgotten stories while trying not to think about her own. Because some trauma isn't dealt with. It's buried. Returning to New York was supposed to be simple. Be closer to her family. Purchase the rare bookstore she'd fallen in love with years ago. Continue building the future she'd fought so hard for. The only complication... Julian Mercer. The powerful, devastatingly handsome and infuriating Don of New York, a man she should stay far away from. A man her sister can't stand. A man she hasn't seen since the night she left the city. Unfortunately for her, Julian Mercer has never forgotten a debt or Anna. What starts as a favor quickly becomes stolen moments, lingering glances, and a connection neither of them seem capable of walking away from. The problem? Julian is a man built from secrets and Anna has spent the last two years burying her own. When a string of brutal murders rocks the city-random, violent, and seemingly unconnected-every road somehow leads back to one person. Anna. As detectives begin circling, asking questions she can't answer and digging for secrets she can't share, Anna finds herself caught between the life she's carefully built and a past determined to drag her back. And the closer the danger gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the man she's spent two years trying to forget. Because Julian Mercer has always been dangerous. The difference is that now Anna has something to lose. Not her safety. Not her freedom. But her heart.

She came home early. She shouldn't have. Noa Reevse is a therapist. She spends her days sitting across from people in the worst moments of their lives, holding their pain with both hands, and sending them home better. She is very good at it. She is also, it turns out, very good at not looking too closely at her own. Until the afternoon, she opens a door she was never supposed to open. Fifteen seconds. That's all she records. That's all she needs. And then, a week later, she puts on a burgundy dress, walks into her husband's televised political forum, and raises her hand. She has the video. She never has to play it. His silence does the work for her. "Hurricane Season" is about what happens after the worst imaginable betrayal, after the divorce papers are filed, after the woman who taught everyone else how to survive the unsurvivable has to figure out how to do it herself. For readers who need their protagonist to be the storm.

This story will not be completed. I'm leaving it up for a bit for those who want to see the new author's note with the final story details. Asha doesn't believe in second chances.

Owen knows how it looked. Now he has to prove to the woman he loves that the worst mistake of his life doesn't define him. And Asha has to decide if love is ever worth the risk of being wrong.

Blood and Silk Series #1: Ilya Barinov This is not a love story. This is a story of obsession.

Nothing hurts more than discovering the man you're about to marry has been lying to your face for months-hours before you walk down the aisle. One minute, I'm laughing with my bridesmaids, trying on the white dress that cost more than my first car, dreaming about forever. The next minute, my phone lights up with screenshots I was never meant to see. Naked. Moaning someone else's name. The same man who whispered, "You're my everything" just last night. He swears it was a mistake. He drops to his knees, tears in his eyes, begging me to believe him. But how do you forgive a betrayal that shatters your entire future in one brutal second? I'm supposed to be the blushing bride. Instead, I'm the girl holding proof that the love of my life sold our forever for a few nights of pleasure. And the worst part? He's not the only one keeping secrets. My best friend knows more than she's letting on. My family is hiding something darker. And the mysterious groomsman who's been watching me all week... he looks at me like he already knows exactly how this story ends. They think I'll still say, "I do." They have no idea I'm about to burn this wedding to the ground. But what if the biggest lie... isn't his?

No blurb yet, but in short: marriage-in-crisis. Both working professionals. She's a public defender; he's a court reporter. Will have emotional cheating on hero's side. Betrayal in that emotional cheating sense, grovel, and redemption. Will have OW drama, but I'm not sure how much yet and to what degree. It will be posted on Wattpad and free, but eventually I may pull it for KU--depending--once it's completed and edited. A new chapter(s) will be published on Fridays. At no specific time.
