US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HB6871H2 UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HB6871H2 In emergency medicine, the golden hour is the crucial sixty-minute window after a traumatic injury-the brief span of time when the right care can mean the difference between life and death. Dr. Mason Carpenter lives for that hour. At St. Mary's Trauma Center, he is the golden boy of the Emergency Department. He's brilliant and calm under pressure. He's also addicted to the adrenaline, the thrill, and the absolute rush of saving patients knocking on death's door. At home, he's a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart-the love of his life-Honey. Or, he used to be. Honey Carpenter has loved Mason since they were fourteen, when he was the gangly boy with hearts in his eyes who stumbled through asking her out for ice cream. She stood beside him through medical school, residency, crushing debt, sleepless nights, and every sacrifice it took to build the life they dreamed about. Now Honey is pregnant with their first child. And Mason is married to his work. He misses ultrasound appointments, pregnancy milestones, and the baby shower. Worst of all, he is never there to support Honey through an increasingly difficult pregnancy. No matter how many times she tells him she is lonely, exhausted, and afraid, Mason gives her the same answer. "They need me." But Honey needs him too. As her pregnancy progresses and she feels something is deeply wrong, her doctor dismisses her symptoms as first-time-mom jitters. Her husband is too busy saving strangers to see his own wife fading away. Until Honey collapses at home and is rushed into Mason's emergency room, fighting for both her life and their daughter's. Mason must reckon with what he was chasing, what he ignored, and what his absence may cost him-the woman he loves more than anything. Now, the golden hour belongs to Honey. And Mason may already be too late.

How does someone disappear? How do you start over where no one knows who you are? Where your past can't find you? Losing both parents a young age, then shuffled through the system, Gabby learned to stand tall and weather any storm. She didn't begrudge her past, rather regarded it as what made her strong, giving her the ability to face challenges rather than run away. With no attachments, after obtaining an advanced degree and licensing as a Nurse Practitioner, Gabby was on the hunt for new adventures. One took her to New York City, where she worked for a family she was certain was involved with the Mafia. She knew to ask no questions and made it a point to hear nothing. When the five-month assignment ended, she moved on to the next adventure: Boston. In Boston, she found something unexpected: a (grand)father figure. Caring for Bernard Driscoll, a self-made billionaire, was a dream come true. Conversations with Bernard were deep, he listened and gave advice like a grandfather. She genuinely loved him. It would have been a perfect assignment if not for his unredeemable grandson, Sebastian. Sebastian Driscoll was driven man, determined to make his grandfather proud by growing the family business. A phenom in business, his love life was a disaster. His penchant for dating fake women that were only after his wealth had driven a wedge between the two Driscolls. At his wits' end, Bernard set a plan in motion. After persuasion and a little coercion, he convinced Gabby and Sebastian to marry. In their mind, it was never meant to last, and love wasn't part of the equation. Until it was. But when Bernard's health failed and he passed, Sebastian changed into someone Gabby didn't recognize and their relationship imploded. After a disastrous dinner party, Gabby received a text photo of Sebastian with another woman. She was done. With public opinion painting her as the villain, Gabby used her New York connections to disappear without a trace.

When a marriage of convenience forces them together, Maya decides to win his heart-with warmth, laughter, and a thousand small kindnesses he never notices.

Until one day, he finally looks up-and the woman who tried so hard is already gone. Now, winning her back will take more than a grand gesture. It will take a fight. A slow-burn romance about unrequited love, quiet heartbreak, and the long road to redemption.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

Hollywood Tales Book #1 For two years, the world watched us fall in love. Our romantasy series became a global obsession and suddenly everyone was interested in us. Interviews went viral. Edits got millions of views. Fans called our chemistry once in a generation and swore no one could fake the way he looked at me. I believed it too, the spark in his eyes, the passion in his touch, the care in his words. While we dated secretly for a year. Until a grainy image of his lip locked with an Ex went viral and I overheard him in a private meeting telling the producers he couldn't do this anymore. That he couldn't keep pretending to be interested in me. And suddenly I didn't know which moments belonged to the show and which ones never existed at all. But one thing was clear, I was just a part of his performance.

Ten Years Mine, One Night Hers "He loved me for ten years... then married her in the eleventh." For ten years, I belonged to Jeon Jungkook in secret. He watched me blossom from a fragile, innocent girl into a woman who knew nothing but him. He was my first love, my first touch, my first heartbreak - and my only addiction. In the shadows, he promised me the world. In the darkness, I was his everything. On our tenth anniversary, the candles were burning, the roses were perfect, and my heart was full of hope. I was ready to tell him the news that would change our lives forever - I was pregnant with his child. But instead of hearing my confession, I heard his: "I'm getting married next month... to Hyuna." Six words. One night. Ten years destroyed. Now, I'm carrying the baby of a man who's about to vow himself to another woman. Torn between unbearable love and devastating pain, we spiral into a toxic cycle of stolen nights, tear-filled kisses, and unbearable guilt. As Jungkook drowns in regret and I break apart in silence, one question haunts me: How do you let go of the man who shaped your entire soul... when he's busy building a life with someone else? A heartbreaking tale of forbidden love, cruel betrayal, and the kind of love that destroys you slowly.
