Pieces Of Us
Kayleen thought love would protect her. Instead, it shattered her. After uncovering the ultimate betrayal-the man she loved secretly building a family behind her back-Kayleen is left broken in a hospital bed, torn between the ruins of her past and the terrifying promise of a future without him. Healing isn't simple... not when love, lies, and lingering scars are tangled so tightly around her heart. Just when she believes her world has ended, an unexpected figure from her past steps in-her uncle. A man she hasn't seen in over ten years suddenly becomes her lifeline, pulling her out of the darkness she thought she'd never escape. With his help, Kayleen begins to piece herself back together, slowly rediscovering the woman she once was... and the strength she thought she'd lost. But her uncle's return isn't without a price. One day, he comes to her-not to offer help, but to ask for it. His request? That Kayleen help a man she's never met. A stranger who has just awoken from a coma. A man deeply important to him... and someone who, like her, has been betrayed by the one he loved. Two broken hearts. One unexpected arrangement. And a chance to turn their pain into something new.

The Weight of quiet things (Free sample)
Evelyn thought love was supposed to save her. At twenty-one, she's living in a cramped Adelaide rental with Jaxon-the boy who once made her feel chosen. He's passionate, intense, and when he's good, he's everything. But when he's not... he's cruel in quiet ways. With words that cut. With silences that scream. With promises that make her stay. Because love is supposed to hurt a little, isn't it? When Jaxon crosses a line she didn't know she had, Evelyn runs-with no plan, no bag, just a cracked phone and shaking hands. She ends up on her brother Jake's doorstep. Safe, but not whole. Then there's Kade. Jake's best friend. Her childhood tease turned quiet protector. He sees too much-asks too little. And something about the way he looks at her makes it hard to breathe. Living with them was meant to be temporary. But Jaxon still calls. Still says all the right things. And Evelyn can't stop loving him-not really. Not yet. As the past claws at her and something softer begins to bloom between whispered conversations and lingering glances, Evelyn is forced to choose: the man who once felt like gravity... or the one who makes her feel weightless.
