She's been immune to his charm since she was fourteen.

Frankie Lowe - freshman, scholarship kid, couldn't care less - doesn't do hockey players. Doesn't do Donovans. And she's currently got her eyes on the one guy on campus who hates Wolfe most. Enemies to lovers. Except she doesn't think about him enough for them to be enemies. That's the whole problem. The Donovan men don't just fall. They fall stupid. It's genetic. 🖤 📖 Complete standalone - no prior reading needed. ⚠️ Explicit sexual content between consenting adults (18+), crude language, underage drinking, and one fuckboy's entire operating system being dismantled by a girl who could not care less.

Tommy Harding has been Rosie Novak-Donovan's best friend since they were four years old. Quiet. Steady. The only person who's never once flinched at her. She kissed him once at a lake bonfire and told him it didn't count. He said "yeah." Neither of them has mentioned it since. ❤️ Now he's Birch Harbor PD. Real badge. Real uniform. And Rosie - FBI daughter, criminal justice degree, academy starting in September - is back in town for the summer and trying very hard not to notice that her best friend grew up when she wasn't looking. 👮‍♂️ Tommy's not the quiet kid who let her win arguments anymore. He's six foot something of small-town cop who could have anyone in Birch Harbor and most of them have tried. He chose Sarah. Sweet, easy, uncomplicated Sarah. The kind of girl who doesn't argue about badge jurisdiction or report parking violations or make his jaw tight every time she walks into a room. The safe choice. The smart choice. 🔥 Tommy Harding has always been smart. Except when it comes to the girl he's been pretending not to love since he was five years old. 🤍 A Birch Harbor story. Friends to lovers. One summer. One badge between them. Two people who know everything about each other except the one thing that matters. Can be read as a standalone but a better experience when read with Where You Left Me and Where You Found Me. 🤍 ⚠️ Content warning: this story contains explicit sexual content between consenting adults, strong language, and underage drinking.

💔 WHERE YOU LEFT ME Book One - The Birch Harbor Series Second chance · Secret baby · Small town · He was Birch Harbor's golden boy. She was the mouthy kid from Maple Street. He never stood a chance. 🌊 THEN - Summer 2020 FLYNN DONOVAN remembers Ivy Novak. Camp. Skinned knees. Attitude problem. He didn't think about her twice. Then she walks back into his summer and she's not a kid anymore and he's fucked. Golden boy. Future cop. Cocky as hell. The kind of guy who smiles and girls forget their own name.

One summer. That's all it was supposed to be. He fell. Badly. Like write-love-letters-on-twenty-dollar-bills badly. (Flynn Donovan doesn't fall. Except apparently he does. Face first.) Then she ended it. Parking lot. January. Three words. There's someone else. There wasn't. 🥊 NOW - Autumn 2025 A bullet puts Flynn on leave. His mom gets sick. Birch Harbor's golden boy comes home. She's still there. Still mouthy. Still pulling pints at Owen's bar - his best friend's bar - like she didn't gut him five years ago. IVY NOVAK is not the girl she was at eighteen. Single mom. Two jobs. Raising her daughter, keeping her head down and her mouth - mostly - shut. She broke Flynn Donovan's heart five years ago. It broke hers too. 👶 And there's a kid. Four years old. Frog boots. Chicken nuggets. No filter. Blue eyes. His blue eyes. 🖤 He thinks she wrecked him on purpose. She knows she had no choice. The secret she's been carrying for four years is about to blow both their lives wide open. 💔 Two timelines. One secret. A four-year-old with a stuffed frog and a detective badge who's about to change everything. ⚠️ Content warning: explicit sexual content, strong language, emotional trauma, family manipulation 💔 18+ · New Adult Romance

He built his business from the ground up, worked tirelessly to create a life of success and independence... and she looked down on it without ever telling him. She laughed about it behind his back, called him her "ATM with legs," and treated his generosity as a given-until the night of the company Christmas party. One careless joke. One overheard conversation. One silent nod, and everything changed. He walked away-not in anger, but with clarity. And while he thrived without her, she was left alone, desperate, and realizing the cost of her shallow choices. A story about respect, integrity, and the high price of taking someone for granted. Sometimes, love and loyalty are more valuable than wealth-and when they're gone, there's no turning back.

Mara Velden's story is about financial betrayal inside a marriage. It is about a woman who believed in someone before anyone else did - who funded his dream with her salary, her savings, her credit, and three years of her career - and who was standing in the rubble when the dream succeeded without her. This is not a story about being poor or being naive. Mara is smart. She did the math. She made a choice based on love and trust and the reasonable expectation that partners share outcomes. He just didn't agree. Content warnings:⚠️ Financial abuse within marriage (not physical - economic) Infidelity (discovered, not graphic) Divorce proceedings and legal process One scene of public humiliation (not violent) A man who will make you want to put your phone through a wall 📱
