Hiraeth (Welsh pronunciation: [hɪraɨ̯θ, hiːrai̯θ]) is a Welsh word for homesickness or nostalgia, an earnest longing or desire, or a sense of regret.
It has been years since Dawn has seen the woman she fell in love with in college. Dawn, a BS in Psychology graduate. Selena, BS in Culinary Arts. Two women who met by chance started to share a special bond, one that is hard to break.
But when one falls in love and the bond reveals that it is not as strong as it has seemed, is it possible to strengthen it once again after years of not seeing each other, when given the chance? Or should one just accept that things will never go back to how they were, drown in the sense of regret and longing, and just leave?

Taste Of Love (Love Series #2)
Kavirah Kazmira Virelle is a highly successful businesswoman with an empire of companies scattered across the globe. A self-made billionaire, she has achieved more than most could dream of, yet she has never stopped pursuing her true passion: becoming a renowned professor. Her brilliance and sharp intellect are evident to all who meet her. Graduating with the highest honors and a perfect GWA, Kavirah's academic excellence propelled her to take the necessary steps toward earning her Doctoral Degree. Without hesitation, she faced the challenge head-on, and today, she stands as a respected professor. Known for her icy demeanor, cold composure, and intimidating presence, Kavirah is unbothered by the judgments of others, focusing instead on her own path to success. Avirah Hidalgo, on the other hand, is a young woman who lives a solitary life, shaped by a tragic past. Her parents passed away before she could even take her first steps, and her grandparents, unwilling to care for her, disowned her when she turned 15. Left to fend for herself, Avirah made a solemn promise to survive, no matter the cost. Having never experienced love or trust, she built impenetrable walls around her heart, vowing never to let anyone in. Love, to her, is a mere illusion-something unworthy of belief or hope. She keeps others at arm's length, closing herself off to the world and its potential for pain. What if their paths were destined to cross? What if they discovered love in each other? Would they be willing to make the sacrifices needed to make it work? Are they ready to take the risk, or will they let the chance slip away? Sit back, relax, and let me introduce you to my very first book!
It's You
A simple girl. A simple boy. And a simple love story. Didith: I was only seventeen when I first met him and finally fell in love with him. Five years. For five years, I held on to his love. Yes, five years. I held on to a love that was never mine, and I guess, will never be. For five years, I have waited for him to love me. I kept my patience - hoping and waiting. Ben: What I regret the most was not being able to tell her my real feelings. For five years, I did nothing but think that I'd tell her one day how much I love her. And before I realized it, the days turned to months, and it was five years already. For five years, I held on to my love for her. I kept it a secret, made sure that she won't notice it, and just be a big brother to her. Five years. Has it really been that long? Can I go back to the first time I met her?Complete

The Bitter Dance of Hollow Hearts
One girl, haunted by demons she never asked for. One girl, holding onto a dream with bleeding hands. One girl, clinging to a life she never was supposed to survive. One girl-and one infuriating woman she was never meant to meet. Aurora Winters, 18, soft-spoken and sweet like spring rain, begins her second last first day of senior year. The wreckage of a car crash last Christmas stole what little safety she had left-leaving her in the bitter care of an aunt who never wanted her and a man who only knows cruelty. Bruised, quiet, alone and unraveling, Aurora is trying to survive the storm. But survival becomes complicated when a certain woman enters the picture. Valentina M. Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway. A story of it all. Of longing that feels like ruin. Of aching that feels like home. Of broken things that refuse to stay broken. A slow unraveling, a dangerous pull. A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.
