♡~The depth of love can be the depth of sorrow~♡
Some fires never die. They just move from house to heart.
Emery's father was a hero once-a firefighter with a heart full of courage. But that was before the drinking. Before the bruises. Before her mother's body was found in a bathtub, wearing white like she was ready to meet God.
Now sixteen, Emery is sent to live with her godmother-her mother's final wish and her father's only chance at inheriting anything. But grief doesn't disappear with distance, and trauma doesn't wait to be healed.
Thrown into a new house full of unfamiliar faces, Emery doesn't expect to find peace. She doesn't expect kindness. And she definitely doesn't expect him-her godmother's quiet, brooding son who sees past the walls she's built. The one who finds her when she's breaking. The one who stays.
As secrets rise from the ashes and pain threatens to consume them both, Emery must decide if love can truly survive the burn-or if some fires are meant to destroy everything in their path.

Life and Emery
In a quiet town pulsing with secrets and second chances, Life and Emery follows the journey of Emery-a woman haunted by loss, fiercely independent, and unexpectedly pregnant-as she stumbles into a life that feels both foreign and strangely meant to be. Offered refuge behind the bustling warmth of a local bar, she carves out a modest sanctuary in a converted storage room, determined to rebuild her world piece by piece. But rebuilding isn't simple. Especially when Jamie-stoic, loyal, and frustratingly magnetic-keeps showing up, offering far more than safety.

Woven through painterly scenes of domestic intimacy, fragile vulnerability, and quiet joy, this story is a love letter to found family, the ache of beginning again, and the fierce softness that comes with finally letting someone in.
