Carry My Heart - Book 3
Cassy and Blake have fought too hard to rebuild the fragile trust between them, mending the pieces of a love that once seemed irreparably broken. Just as they finally begin to breathe again, a devastating secret emerges-one so earth-shattering that it shatters Cassy's world and threatens to consume her whole. The betrayal cuts deeper than she ever imagined, inflicted by those she trusted most. The truth, with its sharp edges, sends her spiraling into a darkness she's never known before, pulling her further from everything-including Blake. And as the weight of her pain grows heavier, the love they rebuilt begins to crack under the strain. But Blake refuses to lose her. He sees the light in her even when she can't, fighting to pull her from the shadows before they swallow her completely. Yet, no matter how hard he tries, the walls around her heart keep rising, and for the first time, he wonders if love alone will be enough to save them. In Beneath Shattered Promises, love is tested beyond its limits in a raw, emotional journey of betrayal, grief, and resilience. As Cassy drowns in pain and Blake fights to bring her back, one question remains-can love survive when the past refuses to let go? Or is this the breaking point for two hearts that once felt unbreakable? "More love, more heartbreak...and definitely more tissues." ***** Started writing: 28 February 2019 Finished writing: 16 August 2019
Lessons of the Heart (TeacherxStudent - wlw)
It was never supposed to mean anything. Just a fleeting moment. A beautiful mistake, soaked in midnight and quiet desperation. One night to forget the rules. To taste freedom in the arms of a stranger. To let go without thinking of the morning after. No goodbyes. No consequences. Only touches that lingered too long, and memories etched into skin like whispers. But fate doesn't play fair. Because when Mia stepped into her classroom that Monday morning, time didn't just stop. It held its breath. And there she was. The stranger from that night. But not draped in shadows this time. No, now she stood in the light. Composed. Commanding. Off-limits. Her new English teacher. Their eyes met. A flash of recognition. A pause too long to be innocent. Mia's heart stumbled in her chest. The room faded, voices dulled, the world narrowed to just her. The woman she wasn't supposed to see again. The woman who now held her future in the palm of her hand. And maybe, just maybe, still remembered everything.Complete
