He forgot their love. She never could. Now, she must fall in love with the man he has become. He must choose the woman he no longer remembers. Seth Sterling's life is a masterpiece of precision-until a surfing accident wipes his memory clean, erasing the last five years. Five years that taught him how to love her. He wakes believing he is still the man he used to be. Everyone else is grieving the man he became. The woman he remembers belongs to his past-the one he once swore he'd never leave. The woman standing in his kitchen, wearing his engagement ring and knowing every shadow in his soul, is a stranger. Jules Hagen loved Seth through every version of himself: the guarded man, the broken one, the architect who finally learned how to build a life worth staying for. Now, she shares a home with the only version of him she never prepared for: the man who doesn't remember choosing her at all. As Seth struggles to inhabit a future he doesn't remember building, Jules is left carrying a love story only she can recall-forced to decide whether to keep fighting for the man she lost or let him become a stranger for the second time. Because forgetting was never the hardest part. Choosing each other again is.

Some marriages don't end because love disappears. They end because grief quietly takes its place. Layla Scott and Tristan Scott were once the couple everyone envied. She was a brilliant attorney who believed love could survive anything. He was a celebrated heart surgeon who vowed to protect her heart forever. Together, they dreamed of building a family. Instead, they buried three babies. Each loss leaves Layla drowning in guilt, convinced her broken body has failed the man she loves. Tristan hides his own heartbreak behind impossible work hours, believing that carrying the burden alone is what a husband is supposed to do. Until the silence between them becomes louder than their vows. When one devastating mistake shatters the fragile trust holding their marriage together, both Layla and Tristan are forced to confront a painful truth: Sometimes love isn't enough to save what grief has already broken. If Only is an emotionally charged story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and self-discovery-about two people learning that the greatest act of love isn't always holding on. Sometimes... it's finding the strength to let go.

Until the man her papa crossed decides to collect what he's owed. He doesn't ask. He takes. Tattooed hands. A ruler of empires built on blood. He closes the distance. She tries to keep it. But he's always liked the chase.

I promised to take care of him until he didn't need me anymore. I made a mistake. I was twenty-two. Just a broke artist with a pair of scissors and a flashlight, hired to be his nanny. I did my best. I built him a sky out of cardboard boxes. I held his hand when the thunder was too loud. I taught him that he didn't have to be alone in the dark. But children grow up. And Silas Vane grew up... different. As the years passed, I started noticing things I couldn't explain. My dates getting cancelled. My debts mysteriously paid off. The feeling of eyes watching me while I slept. I thought I was raising a lonely boy. I didn't realize I was becoming the center of a dangerous obsession. Now, he is a man. A genius who controls everything around him. And he has finally solved the only equation that matters: How to keep me forever.

Malina was just a girl when Alexei korolev became a part of her life-a terrifying, magnetic presence with blood on his hands and secrets in his eyes. Years later, When they happened to live together... and suddenly, Alexei can't look away. She's off-limits. Untouchable. But every time she calls him "Old Man" in that sweet voice, every time she dares to defy him-he gets closer to breaking the rules he swore never to cross. 𝐇𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐳𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐚. 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞.

Even if it costs him everything. "𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕, 𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒔𝒉𝒌𝒂," he growled, his voice low and rough, the kind that ignited a fire deep in her core. She looked up at him, breath shaky, desire written all over her flushed face. "𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆... 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒎𝒆, 𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒏." That was all he needed. No more rules. No more restraint. Just her-exactly the way she wanted. And he'd give her everything. Their chemistry is dangerous. Their connection, deadly. Because loving her means betrayal. And touching her means war.
