The Miles Between Us
Two years ago, Sienna Hale vanished from Ethan Cross's life on a storm-soaked night, leaving nothing behind but unanswered questions and a hollow in his chest. She didn't explain. She didn't look back. And no matter how many miles he put between himself and that memory, he's never been able to outrun it. Now, fate has placed her in his path again - in a quiet coastal town far from the city they once called home. But the woman he finds isn't the Sienna he remembers. She's guarded, distant, and determined to keep her secrets locked away... even if it means shutting him out forever. Ethan swears he won't lose her again. Not without a fight. But chasing her back will mean confronting the truth she ran from - and the lies they've both told to survive. Because sometimes, the hardest distance to close isn't measured in miles... It's in the space between two hearts.
Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.
