Three Lessons. One Love
Love was never kind to Alani. Her first relationship left her bruised-physically and emotionally. The second felt like a game, ending in betrayal. The third wore the mask of sincerity, but he only wanted what he could take. After three heartbreaks that shattered her spirit, Alani gave up on love altogether. Instead, she chose herself. With a suitcase in one hand and broken dreams in the other, she set off to rediscover her purpose-through the quiet shores of Indonesia, the dreamy cafés of France, and finally, back home where she reclaimed her life by buying her dream house and car. She wasn't looking for love. But love found her anyway. He was everything the others weren't-tall, grounded, warm, and endlessly patient. Alani gave him every reason to leave... but he stayed. Six months later, he proposed in a rose garden. Another six months, and they're standing at the altar. Everything is perfect. Until one of her exes walks through the door to stop the wedding. But which one? And what could he possibly say that might change everything?Complete

What If I Was Nothing?

After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage.

Stay A Little Longer
She spent her whole life learning how to stay silent. Raised in a strict Indian household, she grew up believing that freedom was a luxury and love was a danger. Between her parents' rules, their quiet partialities, and the constant fear of disappointing them, she learned to shrink herself, study harder than everyone, and hide her tears behind closed doors. And somewhere else, miles away from her world, lived a man who trusted nothing-not people, not promises, not the comfort of sleep. Life had taught him that the closer someone got, the quicker they left, so he built walls around himself and called it discipline. He wasn't cruel, but he was distant, the kind of person who kept conversations short and emotions shorter. Even in professional spaces he pushed people away, convinced that staying alone was safer than being disappointed again.Complete
