Seraphina Hayes always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable. Sequel of the novel tilted 'Unfaithful Promise' is out. Do read

Elio Moretti's world was bleak. Grey. Dark. When the woman he loved, Alina Romanov, died in his arms, she took all the light with her. He drifted through the years like a ghost, tethered to duty, a life waiting for the end to claim him, but no matter how recklessly he walked the edge --- it never did. Then came Hanna Park. Sharp. Clever. Enigmatic. Disarming without trying. What began as a no-strings-attached arrangement, a fleeting connection, began to fracture, reshape, and bleed into something deeper. Grief, however, does not loosen its roots so easily. And Hanna, she had never meant to fall for a man whose heart still beat in the rhythm of someone gone. Yet the closer she got, the less she could resist. When loss hollows you to the bone, can anything grow in the emptiness? And when love promises to burn you alive, do you flee --- or let it quietly consume you? ------------------------ *Afterlight is a standalone set after The Lies We Rehearsed; reading TLWR first is recommended.*

After five years trapped in an abusive marriage, Mia finally makes her escape with her four-year-old daughter in her arms and forty-six dollars to her name.

[Book 3] With him, she loses control. With her, he finds it.💜 ************* Becca Chen did not trust people. She did not rely on them. She did not fall for them. And she definitely did not let anyone close enough to hurt her. Lewis Reynolds tested every single one of those rules. The guy with the smug face and lazy grin had made it his personal mission to get under her skin. He called her Princess. He treated life like one big joke. And somehow, without permission, he was stealing her heart. She should hate him. She told herself she did. But hate was not supposed to feel like this. It was not supposed to spark every time he stood too close. It was not supposed to burn like fire when they fought. And it was definitely not supposed to leave her wanting him even when she swore she felt nothing at all. Lewis knew he should leave her alone. Becca was prickly, stubborn, and impossible. Yet he found himself addicted. Addicted to her sharp eye rolls, to the fire in her voice, and to the way every argument felt like foreplay. Becca Chen was chaos wrapped in sharp edges. Lewis was helpless against the pull. He had sworn he would keep things light. With her, light had never been enough.
