"Yes, you are. Don't you have any shame?" "Shame?" I asked, confused with what shame has to do with being jealous. "Yes, shame. Don't you have any shame for yourself? You're jealous of a woman being with your mate who wants nothing to do with you. Isn't that pathetic?" he asks, shocking me with his cruel words. "Why would you say something like that?" I ask, feeling my voice shake. "Because if you've forgotten your place. You're my destined mate, but you will never be my chosen mate," he says, venom dripping with every word. I can't hold the tears any longer, so I quickly run away from him. I can't spend another second close to him. I wish I didn't have a mate. ************** Liz has been told to reject her mate all her life, but her mom refuses to explain why. One day Liz meets her mate and does the opposite.

Until then, happy reading! 🥰 Felicity Barrett thought she had everything: a marriage to a man she loved and a beautiful future. 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?

This story is available to read on my Patreon, but a revised and edited version will be coming to Amazon/KU in February 2026. He was silent. A lifetime of poisonous words faded away when he came into my life, convincing me every single insidious whisper had been a lie. He gave me a glimpse into a world where I could be happy, creating a family of my own-one based on unconditional love and zero expectations. Except maybe one. When the moment comes for him to speak up and defend me, he doesn't say a word, and reality comes crashing down on my head. He's not the man I thought he was, but I'm not the same girl he fell in love with, either. I'm stronger now, and I know I deserve better, so when I walk away, he'll be the one left picking up the pieces. There is no cheating, just a TSTL Hero who should've known better.

The edited version of this story is now available on Kindle . But this is the raw version and you are welcome to the initial chapters. Some love stories are meant to stay in the shadows. Aria Bektashi has never belonged. A child refugee of war, she built a life on scraps and sacrifice, keeping her head down and her heart guarded. Then came Crispin Du Valares-the ambitious son of privilege, drawn to her in ways neither of them could explain. For three years, they existed in secret, bound by passion but divided by the world between them. She never asked for love. Only honesty. But when a single cruel moment shatters everything, Aria walks away, determined never to be anyone's shame. She disappears, leaving behind the ruins of what could have been. But some bonds refuse to break. And when Crispin finally finds her, the woman standing before him is not the one he once kept in the dark. She has rebuilt herself-stronger, untouchable. Except for the one secret she can't outrun. Now, he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back. But Aria is no longer willing to be anyone's secret. A story of passion, betrayal, and the fight to claim the love we truly deserve.

Asha finds herself navigating the turbulent aftermath of a crumbling marriage. Aiden, her husband, has betrayed her trust in the most devastating way, leaving her grappling with heartbreak and a storm of unresolved emotions. Caught between the life she once knew and an uncertain future, Asha must confront her pain while searching for a path forward. Haunted by guilt and consumed by regret, Aiden is desperate to make amends. The weight of his mistakes looms large, straining his every effort to rebuild the shattered bonds with Asha and their children. Despite his attempts at reconciliation, the shadow of his choices threatens to overshadow his hopes of redemption. Caught between love, loss, and self-preservation, Asha faces a choice: rebuild what's broken or leave it behind. Author's Warning: This story isn't your typical second-chance or redemption romance. It's a journey of growth and self-discovery on a path that's raw, unfiltered, and imperfect. It's meant to feel real and might be interpreted differently by each person who reads it. Though it might not align with everyone's expectations, I sincerely hope you enjoy reading my story

This story will *most likely* follow The Ring Thief. I was inspired and wanted to write the first chapter before I lost it. There will be a scene in The Ring Thief that introduces the characters, so it's up to you if you want to read the prologue first or not.
