A Thousand Times Enough
Published Story! Book 1 out now at www.AuthoredbyTejav.com Josie Carter is seventeen and already tired of life. Grieving, guarded, and forced to grow up too fast, she's used to surviving, not living. Keeping her head down is the only way she knows how to stay safe. But everything shifts when a new environment forces her out of her comfort zone and into the path of new faces, new feelings, and hard truths she can't outrun. When tension, trauma, and trust collide, Josie must figure out how to hold herself together before everything around her falls apart. Some wounds don't fade. Some love stories don't come easy. But sometimes, what breaks you also builds you. Silas Remington is everything Josie isn't: rich and unapologetically complicated. But beyond what she and others assume, there's chaos beneath the surface and bruises he doesn't show. Their lives collide in ways neither expects, and what begins as animosity slowly unravels into something deeper-something neither of them can explain, yet both of them feel. In a world where nothing is promised, they discover what it means to be enough-for themselves, and for each other.Complete
