BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story.

"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................Complete
The Psychology of a Struggling Man
Ethan Hayes once believed he had it all-success, family, and a future full of promise. But at 40, he's a man on the edge. His career has crumbled. His marriage is unraveling. His connection to his children is fading. And the man he thought he was-his identity, his purpose-seems to have disappeared. Haunted by mistakes, trapped in guilt, and lost in a spiral of self-doubt, Ethan's world is collapsing from within. Every day feels like a new battle against an enemy he can't see but knows is there: himself. The question isn't whether he can rebuild his life, but whether he can face the truth about who he has become. As Ethan navigates the wreckage of his past, he begins to ask himself: Can a man truly change when everything he's built has been shattered? And if so, what will he have to lose in the process? In this unflinching journey into the mind of a man in crisis, The Psychology of a Struggling Man explores the emotional cost of living a life defined by external expectations. It's a story about identity, redemption, and the haunting question of whether we can ever forgive ourselves. How far must we fall before we can rise again? And is there anything left to rise for?
