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.

On the morning of her third wedding anniversary, Charlotte Wilson learns the truth-her husband, David Jones, has been betraying her for years with her best friend, Morecea Hale. The betrayal cuts deeper when she discovers her stepsister, Anna Wilson, has been helping them, eager to seize the inheritance her mother left behind. Stripped of her shares, framed for fraud, and left to die in a staged "accident," Charlotte's final moments are filled with one bitter truth: the people she trusted most were the ones who destroyed her. But death is not the end. Charlotte wakes up five years in the past-two years before her doomed marriage-armed with the knowledge of every betrayal, every deal, and every face that smiled while stabbing her in the back. This time, she will not be the woman they ruined. She will be the storm that topples their world. With her foresight, she builds an empire untouchable by lies, dismantling her enemies piece by piece. Her path unexpectedly collides with Warren Solomons-her former childhood friend turned bitter rival, now one of the most dangerous businessmen in the city. In a game where trust is a currency no one can afford, Warren becomes both her greatest challenge and her most unlikely ally... if she dares let him in before the final reckoning.

Aniya thought marriage meant partnership, love, and maybe the occasional argument about Netflix passwords. What she didn't plan for was Farrah - Spencer's charming, passive-aggressive "work wife" who somehow made "emotional cheating" look like part of the job description. At first, it was small stuff: snarky comments about Aniya's yoga career, a suspicious number of office selfies, and a mysteriously missing anniversary mug. But when Farrah starts hashtagging Spencer as her "WorkHubby" and scheduling dinners on their actual anniversary, Aniya realizes she's not imagining it-this woman is trying to steal her man, one team meeting at a time. Now Aniya has two options: 1. Let Farrah run the show while Spencer plays the clueless nice guy. 2. Or remind everyone - including her husband - exactly who's married to him. Told with sharp humor, brutal honesty, and enough chaos to fill an HR report, Delete Her Number, Spencer is a modern love story about marriage in the social media era - where loyalty is tested, egos are fragile, and no one is safe from a "work bestie" with boundary issues.
