PAUL I cheated on my fiancée. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast, and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and met the gentle giant owner, who invited me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I'm smiling more than I ever have, and I'm healing my heart. My bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people who love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came into Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful, brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love. 12/10/25 - Currently undergoing edits.

But when years of neglect and unspoken grief collide with her husband's devastating mistake, everything begins to crumble. Caden Barrett has always been the fixer-at work, at home, and in his marriage. But some things can't be solved with late-night apologies or expensive gifts. To win back Felicity's trust, he'll have to face his failures, fight for their future, and learn what it truly means to not only love his wife, but to show that love. Together, they must navigate family turmoil, betrayal, and the painful echoes of the past. Through chaos, heartbreak, and unexpected joys, Felicity and Caden discover that love isn't about perfection-it's about persistence, forgiveness, and choosing each other again and again. This is a story of brokenness and healing, of second chances and the quiet work of love. It is a novel that explores modern marriage, blended families, and courage while asking: when everything shatters, can love be rebuilt stronger than before?

📢 Final polished copy now on Kindle pre-order! Releases Oct 1st, 2025 (paperback soon!) 📖✨ Emily Carter thought she had it all - a husband, a home in LA, and a hilarious three-year-old son. Then she walked into her guest room and found Jake naked with his assistant. Now Emily's out for answers (and a little revenge), armed with sarcasm, a "stupid evidence folder," and Ollie, her toddler sidekick who blurts out every secret he overhears. Jake might think he can win her back with roses, date nights, or karaoke ballads, but Ollie's truth bombs - and Emily's razor-sharp wit - prove otherwise. This isn't just a story about betrayal. It's a romantic comedy about strength, second chances, and the hilarious honesty of kids who always say the quiet part out loud. Because in Emily's world, one thing's certain: Memily always wins, and Ollie always gets his nuggies. As for the handful shouting "AI wrote this!" - kindly fuck off. I know it's easier to assume a robot is behind my work than to admit a human being out here with a job, a family, and zero sleep is still more creative than you. But trust me: this mess, this madness, this weird blend of comedy and heartbreak? 100% human-powered. If AI ever learns how to write Wattpad stories while half-laughing, half-crying over its own characters, then maybe I'll worry. Until then, take a seat.

The Russian mafia boss, who is engaged to a woman he can't stand, and a woman who works for the Criminal Investigation Department as an agent and a forensic pathologist. Two people from different worlds meet in a dark alleyway; fate does its work and connects their lives together. ____________ "I know you all are curious," he began, his Russian accent thick and unmistakable. "But the only thing you need to remember is that this beautiful woman," his hand rested possessively on my shoulder, "is Eleanor Morozov." His eyes swept over the room, challenging anyone to dispute his claim. "But most importantly, she is mine." "Every word that comes out of her mouth," he says, his voice echoing through the cavernous room, "will hold as much power and meaning as my own. You disrespect her," he pauses, his gaze sweeping over each man, "you die. You look down at her, you die. You think of her in any way but as my equal, you die, and the process will be... unpleasant." Vlad takes his seat beside me, his hand resting casually on the arm of the chair. "Now that we have that cleared up, let's continue what we're here for."
