Jenna Devereaux has always had one goal: graduate the small four year college tucked away in her tiny little town and maybe become an author to be remembered, but when her mother dies under suspicious circumstances, Jenna is determined to find the one responsible, even with the distracting, yet alluring Drake Thorne whispering sweet nothings into her ear.
Cursed by gypsies with immortality and the burden of watching his first love die over and over again, Drake Thorne thinks he's got it right with Jenna. He's determined to stop the ruthless cycle of death and destruction that seems to follow him wherever he goes. But when an old foe sets his sights on Jenna, Drake fears that history will inevitably repeat itself. Can Drake protect Jenna from her own terrible fate or are they both doomed to repeat the past for all eternity?

Limitless Conversations
Two people. One bench. A thousand memories between them. What began as simple laughter and late-night calls turned into distance, silence, and unspoken words. They loved each other once - deeply, painfully - but life had other plans. Between miscommunication, loss, and time, they drifted apart... leaving only echoes of what they used to be. Years later, fate brings them back to the same place where everything began - the bench beneath the streetlight. Only this time, they're not the same people who once fell in love. She's learned to rebuild herself from the quiet, to find meaning through her writing and the ghosts of her past. He's learned to stop running, to sit with his emotions, and to rediscover the parts of himself he once gave away. What follows isn't a love story in the traditional sense - it's a story about understanding. About heartbreak that transforms instead of destroys. About growth that doesn't erase what came before but gives it purpose. Because sometimes, love doesn't vanish. It just changes shape. And sometimes, the most powerful conversations are the ones that never really end - they simply wait for you to come back.Complete
