BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story.

A Heart Rewritten
I thought moving back to my father's country would be a fresh start-a chance to find myself in the place I was born but never really knew. I didn't expect to fall so fast for someone who would break me in ways I still struggle to name. What followed shattered everything: my trust, my voice, my sense of who I was. But this isn't just a story about pain. It's about the slow, quiet strength of rebuilding. About family in its most fragile form. About learning that healing isn't a straight line-and sometimes, love finds you when you're no longer looking for it. This is the story of how I got lost, how I came home, and how, one day, I looked in the mirror and finally recognized the girl staring back.
