Crispene Stories

Freya Alcantara never believed in fairytales-especially not after being betrayed by her first love and nearly destroyed by a man she once trusted. Just when she thought she could rebuild herself, she's thrown into an arranged marriage with Preston, a man too kind, too patient, and too quiet for someone carrying as much pain as she does. But as Preston begins to break through her walls, Freya discovers that sometimes, love isn't loud... it's in the little things-the way someone stays, protects, and sees the broken pieces without turning away. But peace doesn't come easy. As danger resurfaces in the form of her possessive ex, and old feelings with Clyde come crashing back, Freya is torn between what once was and what could be. With her heart caught in the crossfire of secrets, longing, and survival, she begins to wonder-is this love worth the risk? Or will loving again cost her everything, including herself?
