Ayla Pezzino thought she had it all. A successful career as a marketing executive in New York City, a new man by her side, and a fresh start after the heartbreak that shattered her world six years ago. But when she receives the devastating news that her best friend, Sage Lawson, has passed away, Ayla's carefully rebuilt life is thrown into chaos. Returning to West Hartford for the funeral, she comes face to face with the last person she expected to see: Seth Castro.

Seth, now a successful family lawyer and an eligible bachelor, has long since moved on from his painful breakup with Ayla. But seeing each other at Sage's funeral, the past suddenly feels closer than ever. As they mourn their best friend, Ayla, and Seth are forced to confront the emotions and unfinished business that have haunted them for years.

Caught between the lives they've built and the memories they can't escape, Ayla and Seth must decide if the spark that once ignited their love is worth reigniting or if some flames are better left in the past.

17 parts Ongoing Mature
A dead woman walking would make anyone do a double take. She never thought she would see him again. He never thought she could have survived. More questions left than answers Jada and Alessio must finally work together. Nothing was right in the world without Jada in it and now nothing was right with her in it either. Book Excerpt: "Where are you trying to take me? You snagged us up, but where are we going," She asked pointedly. "To my grandparent's home." "That's a terrible idea. We need a safe place to go, not somewhere so obvious." "My grandfather knows important people. Trust me, he's the safest place in Italy we could be." "No, I won't just blindly follow your lead. I won't risk my sons life on something like that." "And where would you go? How would you be any safer? If it wasn't for me, our son would be long gone. You have no resources. You have nothing. Somehow, I am the bad guy!" "Yes you're the fucking bad guy, you can't trip me into marriage and then putting me through hell as I tried my best to survive. You're the bad guy because I never agree to be with a criminal master mind or whatever you do. I have no idea. I don't know anything about you. I was cheated on and lied to just as much. Don't go blaming your hurt feelings all on me. You started this. You are the reason. I'm finally reacting to the way you treated me! I was delusional, scared, and confused. You isolated me from my people. I wasn't okay. I've been ripped from the life I knew!" [In Progress 4/19/24- ] Rankings #118 Man #44 deathandlife #5 lovetragedy
