Second chances are meant to bring hope but aren't they also a reminder of everything we've lost? Brenna Hayes knows exactly what it's like to lose everything you love. Widowed and broken, a second chance knocks on her door when an old mentor offers her a job in the town she left all those years ago. But there's a reason she left and it's the same reason she dreads going back. With no other option, she packs her things and returns to her past only to discover she left more loose ends than she realized. Grant Carter is one of those loose ends. The boy who broke her heart so many years ago and, ironically, has become the man who fixes things for a living. He also happens to be the contractor for Brenna's new home and suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the only woman he's ever loved. And the only woman he ever let go. Now, he's determined not to let his second chance get away and show Brenna just how good he is at mending what's been broken. *Rated 18+ due to mature themes and language.

The night Rosy was born, a comet passed over the earth. Only visible from a handful of states, clouds filling the skies, it was a miracle her mother saw it through the window of the ambulance. But she not only saw it, she named her baby girl after it. Rosy's comet. It only visited once every eleven years. However, after her mother pulled a runner, Rosy's father dedicated the first eleven years of her life to a thorough education in fear and disappointment. He put on a good front, but when the doors were closed, the masks came off. The next time Rosy's comet passed overhead, the world she knew came crashing down. But she survived, and that's what mattered - even if she only had the stars, her sisters, and Grube left to guide her. And then there was Luke, her unexpected angel of hope who'd kept her fighting when it seemed impossible, who'd picked her up in the aftermath of her darkest moments. He'd shown her what real love looked like, what it felt like. And she'd fallen for him slowly, steadily, until she'd lost sight entirely of where her soul ended and his began. But on the night everything was supposed to change, the night they were supposed to start their forever, the night Rosy's comet returned for a third time - Luke, her best friend, her confidante, the love of her life... her groom... didn't show. And Rosy discovered firsthand that there's only so much disappointment a soul can take before the damage becomes irreversible. ---- Raven Sisters Novellas: (1) To Regret a Raven (2) To Destroy a Raven (3) To Betray a Raven (4) To Crave a Raven (5) To Lose a Raven Though these stories are connected, they can each be read as a standalone.

What happens when the rules you were raised to follow no longer fit the life you're living? Athena Munroe thought she had it all-a stable marriage, a fulfilling career, and a quiet strength built from surviving family betrayal and cultural expectations. But everything shifts when her husband, Leonard, confesses a long-held truth: he's bisexual and has developed feelings for someone else. Rather than run, Athena makes a bold choice-to explore the possibility of an open marriage and redefine what love, trust, and loyalty can truly look like. With the help of therapy, honest conversations, and a lot of soul-searching, she and Leonard try to rebuild on new terms. But freedom comes with complications. As Athena ventures into a world of emotional risk and romantic exploration, she finds herself confronting generational trauma, family judgment, and unexpected desire. When she forms a deep connection with a man who sees her fully-and loves her freely-Athena must decide what she wants, what she's willing to risk, and which rules are worth breaking. The Rules We Break is a bold and intimate story of love, identity, and the courage to define happiness on one's own terms. Perfect for readers who crave complex relationships, grown-up emotional stakes, and fierce women unapologetically choosing themselves.
