"Love never ends."

Tessa is a determined single mother, driven to shield her daughter, Mallory, from the shadows of her past. Fleeing a dark history and the painful scars left by her foster parents, she's built a life on the run, always looking over her shoulder. But when her path crosses with a stranger and his warm, welcoming family, Tessa faces an impossible choice: protect her heart or finally let someone in. To secure a future for Mallory, Tessa may have to learn that not every stranger is a threat-and that love, no matter how buried, has a way of resurfacing.All Rights Reserved

Callie thought of almost everyone in that house a sibling, so why was it different when it came to Liam. He was just her best friend right?

First Love, Forever Love | 🥇 2023 Amby Winner by SueLou66

"We were just kids in love." Nicole is an outgoing senior in high school, hoping to make this year her best yet. She is the new girl in town and is looking forward to new friends and experiences. All seems to be going smoothly until meeting Tessa. In Tessa's eyes, Nicole is stealing everything that Tessa believes belongs to her. And she is in no way trying to hide her hostility towards Nicole. William, a green-eyed boy who has his life planned out for him, grew up in this town. He knows everyone and is popular amongst his friends. He makes an effort to spend every bit of his free time hanging out with his friends at the lake. When Nicole and William's eyes connect for the first time, neither one can look away. Is there such a thing as love at first sight? I want to think so. *** First Love, Forever Love is the first story that I had the pleasure of writing for a contest. Little did I know that this story would be the catalyst of my passion for writing. I loosely based this story on my husband's and my love story. While much of it is fiction, there are snippets of truth throughout. I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it and revising it for Wattpad.
