Brianna Marshall is still mourning over the loss of her husband seven months ago. What's worse? She's pregnant with his baby.
When she decides to join a support group to cope with his death, she meets interesting people with different stories.. one of them being Abe Beckham, who lives in his own guilt after losing his brother in an accident.
As Brianna grows closer to motherhood, Abe notices her uneasiness toward raising her baby alone. Soon, he's drawn to her and wants to help her.
Brianna learns everyone's stories, and she learns to help them along the way. This is a story of new relationships, understanding, and helping one another.
"I-I can't do this. I can't do it alone." A tear falls from upon her eyelashes, and I step forward to gently wipe it away from her cheek. My hand lingers there, feeling the soft unblemished skin of her beautiful face.
"You don't have to, Bree. I'm here. We're all here for you." I smile down warmly at her, and she looks up at me with a vulnerable gaze. Her walls are finally starting to collapse. I can feel it.
I almost forget about the small group of people behind me until she glances in the distance behind me. I turn swiftly to look at them before turning back to Brianna. "Don't worry. They'll understand because.. we all have our own wasteland."

Erwachseneninhalt
Viscious, cruel, cold -- those are just some of the words used to describe Jade Von Kaiser, the sole heiress to the Von Kaiser fortune. Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best.
The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known.

'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek.
"Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed.
"S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders.
I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.'
