After a decade-long marriage ends in betrayal, New York chef Jilly Moore is left with two sons, a rising restaurant, and a heart she refuses to let break twice. As she learns to co-parent with the man who hurt her, she finds herself rebuilding more than a business - she's rebuilding her family, her future, and the parts of herself she forgot. Across split weekends, baseball games, school plays, late-night recipes, and unexpected laughter, the Moore family discovers that love doesn't vanish... it changes shape. And sometimes, healing shows up in places you never expect. She built a life around love. He broke it. Now she's learning how to live for herself - and discovering that love might not be gone... just different.

Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? © IcecreamSundae5.

Sarj's long-awaited story. And Kade's. A new guy. And her. The Tremontaine Coven of Boston, Massachusetts is of old arcane lineage, and Lys is the last remaining witch of the ancient bloodline. Unfortunately for the young witch, she's a powerless freak, useless except for bleeding what little magic she has from her blood. Death doesn't come easy for her, and worse is the betrayal from Isaac, her betrothed. The sad tale is only a memory to Lys. Reborn, magicked, ensorcelled, tricked... she's not entirely sure why she has the memories of another life. She's not sure if it's real, or if she's certifiably insane. She's not sure if she's Alsye Tremontaine, reincarnated, or someone... something... else. The only certainty is Lys is no one's victim. Someone ought to warn the men hunting her.

But one winter afternoon, a chance glimpse through a café window shatters everything she's clung to. Reeling from betrayal and years of quietly diminishing herself, she walks away from the home they shared, from the son who doesn't understand, and from the woman she's become. As she tries to rebuild a life on her own terms, she must face the hardest truth: she has always been second best in Ronin's heart and maybe in her son's, too. Tender, raw, and unflinching, Second Best again is the story of a woman learning to choose herself, even if it means starting over with nothing but her own name.

I didn't wake up one morning and decide to fall out of love. It was slower than that. Quieter. No big affair. No lipstick on the collar. Just a slow erosion of "us" every time he chose her over me. This isn't a love story. It's a resignation letter. And I signed it with a smile.
