Based on a true story. A novel about the first person to step into these doors, the man who loved her, and the woman who protected her. The Saint Anthony House was supposed to be a bed and breakfast. It turned into a refuge stitched together by one woman's stubborn belief that broken things can be mended. Through the intertwined perspectives of Grazia, a young woman clawing her way back to herself; Anatoly, the man who has loved her since before either of them knew what love meant; and Caterina, the fierce, tender founder who shelters them both, this story becomes a love letter to the quiet sanctuaries that change us. As Grazia recovers within its walls, Anatoly stumbles into the House as a temporary worker and finds himself drawn into its strange gravity...and back toward the girl he's never stopped caring for. Under Caterina's watchful, maternal presence, the two of them rediscover each other in the soft light of the place. The Saint Anthony House is a story about second chances, chosen family, and the way a single place can hold the weight of three lives until they're strong enough to hold themselves.

In a house alive with secrets, she must face both the storm outside and the storm inside. Caught between fear and longing, hope and despair, she discovers that home may not be a place at all-it may be a shadow she chases, forever elusive.

Rain drenched the streets. Only one auto rickshaw struggled through the downpour. "Step aside. I don't have time for delays," he snapped, glaring at her. She shot back, defiant, "Then maybe you shouldn't be standing in the rain." They stared at each other, soaked to the bone, stubborn as ever-neither willing to give an inch. Enemies at first sight. Forced together by fate.

Ini bukan tentang kisah cinta yang manis, melainkan tentang hati yang sudah terlalu banyak memendam semua lukanya, tentang tangis yang tak pernah terlihat. Ini hanya sekedar tulisan dari seseorang yang tak pernah bisa mengungkapkan semua perasaannya.

Ten years ago, they were neighbors. Ten years ago, they were everything. And then, ten years ago, Luke disappeared without a word, leaving Maeve to pick up the pieces of a life he was no longer part of. Now, a random weekend staycation has thrown them back into the same orbit. They aren't kids anymore, but the history between them hasn't aged a day. Neither of them knows how to navigate the feelings that are starting to resurface-feelings that go much deeper than a childhood crush. They are both in total denial about how much they still matter to each other, playing a dangerous game of who can act more indifferent while the air between them screams otherwise. In a world of missed signals and ten years of secrets, they are one heartbeat away from losing each other for the second time. How do you bridge a gap that's been ten years in the making? Author's Note Note: This story contains explicit language and mature themes. This story has been sitting in my drafts since 2023, and I'm finally reworking the plot and filling in the gaps to give these characters the depth they deserve. Heavily inspired by music and the "what ifs" of life, this is my first long-form story, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you. This serves as an alternative/extended ending to the short story 'You Weren't Mine To Lose' from the Whispers In The Wind collection. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
