    Alexander didn't cheat. He just gave someone else his attention, his laughter, and the smiles that used to belong to his wife. And she watched him drift, not to another woman's bed, but to her presence. Her laugh. The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people. Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along. Eight years of marriage. One little boy who loved them both. And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous. The third - he called her insecure. So she stopped warning him altogether. And stopped waiting. Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.

    Seraphina Hayes always believed she would recognize betrayal if it ever came near her marriage. She imagined it loud. Obvious. Unforgivable. She never imagined it would look like this. Like her husband smiling at another woman the way he used to smile at her. Like late-night messages that weren't inappropriate - just intimate. Like emotional comfort slowly being outsourced. And she definitely never imagined standing outside a glass office in downtown Los Angeles... Watching her husband hesitate before pulling away from another woman's lips. The kiss wasn't hungry. It wasn't desperate. It was worse. It was familiar. And in that single second - She realized she had already been replaced emotionally long before that moment happened. She didn't scream. She didn't storm in. She simply turned... And walked away from the life she thought was unbreakable. Sequel of the novel tilted 'Unfaithful Promise' is out. Do read

    No blurb yet, but in short: marriage-in-crisis. Both working professionals. She's a public defender; he's a court reporter. Will have emotional cheating on hero's side. Betrayal in that emotional cheating sense, grovel, and redemption. Will have OW drama, but I'm not sure how much yet and to what degree. It will be posted on Wattpad and free, but eventually I may pull it for KU--depending--once it's completed and edited. A new chapter(s) will be published on Fridays. At no specific time.

    The moment leading up to the kiss, the drumroll, is as good as the kiss itself. It's certainly more innocent. It's completely harmless.

    We were just friends. At least, that's what I thought. Late-night chats, inside jokes, classmates teasing us like we were a couple, it never meant more than friendship to me. She was the one I trusted with secrets, even the ones about the girl I actually liked. But one prank... one stupid joke about love... flipped everything upside down. She started feeling something real. I didn't. Now she's confessed, and I'm stuck between guilt, family pressure, and the fear of hurting her more than I already have. Staying feels wrong. Leaving feels worse. How do you save a friendship when love ruins it? Inspired by true events, but written with a creative twist. Characters and incidents have been modified.

    Sorcha MacAlasdair, daughter of a proud Highland laird, is like the wild heather that carpets the hills of her homeland-resilient, and impossible to uproot. Betrothed since childhood, her marriage was arranged to secure an alliance and strengthen two powerful clans. She asked for nothing from the union, though once she allowed herself to hope that love might follow. Calum MacRae resented the duty forced upon him. To him, Sorcha was obligation made flesh, a political bargain that stole the future he believed he deserved. His heart remained with Elspeth, the childhood friend who promised him choice instead of sacrifice. Against his father's warning, Calum turned his back on the woman he had taken as wife, meeting her loyalty with scorn. But war does not wait for wounded pride. When Calum rides to battle, he returns to a keep scarred by conflict and to a clan no longer looking to him for strength. The loyalties he once took for granted have shifted, and the bride he dismissed now stands at the heart of Strathloch. Now the man who once sought to break her must prove himself worthy-or risk losing his clan, his legacy, and the only woman strong enough to stand beside him. Content Warnings: Public hangings, period-appropriate violence, emotional infidelity, referenced stillbirth, betrayal/treachery within the clan, emotional cruelty, and themes of loyalty, duty, and power imbalance.

    Some love stories do not end. They simply continue without you in them. Mukti was never the other woman. She was the second choice in a love story that had already ended before she ever stepped into it. For seven years, she waited. Not for grand gestures or pretty promises. Just for one moment where he would look at her, not as a replacement, not as a responsibility, but as the woman who stood beside him every single day. She lived in a marriage where nothing was cruel enough to complain about. Arjun was gentle. He was faithful. He loved their daughter with a devotion that never wavered. He spoke to Mukti, touched her, shared a home and a bed with her. And yet, he was never truly there. His heart remained somewhere in the past, holding onto a love he had lost and never learned to let go. "Woh kisi aur ke gham se ubhar hi nahi paaya, Aur main kisi apne ke hote hue bhi tanha reh gayi" In the letters Mukti never meant him to read, her truth finally unfolds. Of how she slowly disappeared. Of how she kept loving without being loved back. Of how loneliness learned to wear the mask of stability. Now Arjun is forced to face what he chose not to see. That while he mourned his past, he made his present live unloved. This is not a story of infidelity. It is the story of emotional absence, stretched across seven years, until waiting no longer felt like hope, but habit.

Six months after Emily's birth, Joy's world is sleepless nights, spit-up-stained shirts, and the ache of doing it all alone.

And this time, Joy isn't sure he'll say no. When late-night texts turn into secrets and laughter that used to belong to her, Joy realizes it's not an affair she can prove; it's one she can feel. And when she finally walks away, Rowdy has to decide if the comfort he found in Becca was ever worth losing the family he built with Joy. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon.
