    She was placed in his path on purpose. The photograph was not an accident. What Eclipse Entertainment called damage control-fifty pages of contract clauses and manufactured milestones-was supposed to be a product. Two careers. One fabricated intimacy. A bargain neither of them agreed to. What no one planned was that the lie would crack open. Faith Monroe was a biracial Black-and-Korean solo artist trying to hold her identity together within an industry that wanted a manageable portion of it. Kang Jaehun was a veteran idol leader who had been performing dependability for so long that he had forgotten where the performance ended. They were forced into a fake relationship, then a staged proposal, then a real marriage neither of them had chosen, and somewhere inside all of that, something real began. But the real thing was the most dangerous thing either of them had ever touched. This was a slow burn across sixteen years. It included a decade of industry machinery, a love that took years to become honest, a postpartum crisis that nearly ended everything, a divorce, and the brutal, slow work of two people becoming worth a second chance. It included an anti-fan who poisoned a drink, a group of five boys who became men and lost each other along the way, a grandmother who died refusing to name her own great-grandchildren, and a rooftop where a man sat for three hours, wondering if the city would notice if he never came down. It did not fade to black. It did not look away. It told the whole truth. Mature themes throughout. Explicit content. Mental health. Medical realism. Racism depicted in full. This is a story about the cost of being seen when the world would rather look away, and about the specific miracle of two people who learned to see each other clearly. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.L.

    Delaney thought the hardest part would be surviving the pregnancy. She was wrong. At twenty-six weeks, she's exhausted, sick, barely sleeping, and carrying the weight of a relationship that doesn't feel the same anymore. Her fiancé, Cameron, says she's overthinking. That pregnancy has made her emotional. That she needs to stop looking for problems that aren't there. Then she finds out she was right about him. By the time their daughter is born, Delaney has already lost trust in the man she loves. Soon, she starts losing trust in something even more terrifying- her own mind. Everyone thinks Delaney is falling apart. But after months of being lied to, there's one question nobody knows how to answer: What if she isn't wrong about everything?

    Two damaged hearts - and one sweet baby to bring them together. When rancher Wyatt Black discovers an abandoned baby on his doorstep, he needs help ASAP - and finds it in his next-door neighbor, Ellie. There's no way he's capable of caring for the newborn on his own, and his rough childhood has left him doubting he'll ever be father material. But as little Darcy starts to wrap him around her little finger, and Ellie turns his bachelor's quarters into a family home, he wonders if he's been wrong all along. Elli Marchuk has been grieving in private for the life she's lost - her baby, her marriage, even her job. When the grouchy rancher next door asks for her help, she's hesitant. But an innocent child needs her, so she puts her personal misgivings aside. Helping Wyatt with Darcy starts to heal all the broken parts of her heart, especially when she and Wyatt develop tender feelings for each other. But Darcy will only be with them for a short time. And Elli isn't at all sure she's ready to take a second chance on love, even with a man as strong and sure as Wyatt...
