Delaney James seemed to have it all-a Manhattan townhouse, a thriving career as a fashion journalist, and a handsome, high-powered husband, but when he announces he's leaving her, Delaney's picture-perfect life unravels. Heartbroken and in need of a fresh start, she packs her bags and returns to her small hometown in North Carolina, telling herself it's just temporary - a place to regroup and figure out her next move.

She had left this town years ago to chase bigger dreams, but home hasn't forgotten her. The familiar faces and slow pace of life begin to pull at her in unexpected ways. She reconnects with old friends, enjoys quiet coffee dates, and takes walks through the neighborhood where she grew up, rediscovering parts of herself that had been buried beneath years of ambition.

And then there's Greyson McKinnie-the one who broke her heart. No longer the carefree boy she remembers, Greyson is now a man carrying his own regrets. Their encounters are charged with unresolved tension, and Delaney quickly realizes her feelings for him are not as distant as she'd hoped.

Caught between the life she built in New York and the comfort of home, Delaney must confront old wounds, rekindle lost dreams, and decide whether risking everything for a second chance at love will lead her to the happiness she truly desires.

A slow-burn, dual POV, second chance romance.

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home.

PREVIEW CHAPTERS ONLY ⋆ REVISED EDITION COMING TO AMAZON AND KINDLE UNLIMITED IN SUMMER 2025 ⋆ They say you meet the same people on the way up and on the way down. In her wildest dreams and story plots, novelist Delaney Sharpe never fathomed this could apply to her, or that it would involve Phoenix Alden, the ex-boyfriend who ghosted her while his acting career was on the rise to Hollywood A-list status. When Phoenix struts back in to Delaney's life after a career nosedive and time away from the spotlight, he claims he's no longer the walking red flag he was when they dated. And when he asks her for a second chance--one weekend together to explain himself and prove he isn't who he used to be--she isn't sure what to do. Reuniting with Phoenix was a daydream Delaney had after he walked out, and before she healed, moved on, and found her own success. Still, it's only one weekend, and there's a spark between them Delaney can't ignore. She can finally get answers about what happened in their relationship and where Phoenix disappeared to. But when the weekend leaves her with deeper feelings than she expected, more questions, and a mystery to solve, Delaney knows she must uncover the truth about the last few years of Phoenix's life to decide if he really has changed, or if he's a danger to more than just her heart.
