The Man She Wrote To
BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/b8UDGKL The Man She Wrote To He found the letters by accident. What he read changed everything. Ethan Calloway wasn't looking for secrets-just an old photo album tucked away in the attic. Instead, he finds a box of handwritten letters sealed with lipstick and passion... addressed to someone else. Each letter reveals pieces of a man his wife, Lila, once loved deeply. A man who listens. Who sees her. Who stirs something in her she can't express aloud. Ethan doesn't recognize the name. But the words cut deeper than betrayal. As he reads on, obsession replaces outrage. Who is the man she wrote to-and what if the answer isn't what he fears, but something far more painful? A haunting, intimate novel about the quiet unraveling of a marriage, the stories we tell to survive it, and the fragments of ourselves we leave behind in the people we love.Concluida

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Concluida

Beneath the Same Sky
Arielle once believed love was supposed to feel like urgency - breathless, bright, impossible to hold without burning. She gave her heart young, fiercely, thinking intensity meant destiny. But life taught her something quieter: sometimes the real breaking isn't loud - it's slow, invisible, and lonely. Now she's rebuilding. Not chasing closure... becoming it. There is someone from her past - a memory shaped like a first love, returning not to reclaim what once was, but to acknowledge what can never be again. And there is someone in her present - steady hands, quiet mornings, laughter that doesn't demand, warmth offered without rush - a presence that feels like safety instead of rescue. Yet this isn't a love triangle. It's a woman learning she is not choosing between two men - she is choosing herself, and the life she wants to grow into. Healing doesn't roar here. It whispers. It rests. It rebuilds. This is a story of: • love that once burned • love that now breathes • and a heart learning the difference Not every ending is explosive. Some are soft. Some are earned in silence. Some aren't endings at all - just beginnings with the lights turned on. A romance about growing up, letting go, and finding love that feels like peace - not proof. ✍🏽 Author Bio - Mercy Oke Mercy Oke writes emotional contemporary romance rooted in tenderness, healing, and the quiet revolution of choosing peace over chaos.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Concluida
We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
