Ivy Brown has built the life of her dreams. As the owner of a luxury hair studio in New York City, with celebrity clients and her work gracing the pages of Vogue, she's left her past firmly behind her. But when her mother announces she's getting remarried, Ivy is drawn back to London as maid of honour-a role she can't refuse, no matter how much she dreads returning to the city she left nearly a decade ago.
London is full of memories Ivy would rather forget, none more complicated than those of Lucas Martinez. Lucas wasn't just her childhood best friend-he was her first love, her everything. Their bond seemed unbreakable until it wasn't.
Now Lucas is back too, and he's not alone. Thrown together in the midst of wedding chaos, Ivy must confront the tension, heartbreak, and unspoken words lingering between them. As old wounds resurface and sparks threaten to reignite, Ivy will have to decide whether some bridges are worth crossing-or if the past is better left behind.

Tyler gives Ivy everything she never knew she needed: gentle rules, bedtime snuggles, and unconditional care. In return, she gives him her heart-and her whole self. But the past never stays buried. When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Complete

Red Thread Theory
In a world where everyone is born with an invisible red string linking them to their soulmate, Ivy Bennett, a young woman in her late twenties, stands apart-she has no string at all. Raised in a small town, Ivy has always been a dreamer, fascinated by the idea of soulmates and destined love. However, after years of failed relationships and watching her friends find their soulmates, she has become cynical about the concept of love. Ivy works as a graphic designer, pouring herself into her art as a distraction from the loneliness she feels. She often feels like an outsider, disconnected from those around her, and has almost given up on the idea of ever finding someone who truly understands her. Julian Reyes, on the other hand, is a man in his early thirties with a life filled with uncertainty. Growing up in a bustling city, Julian was raised by a single mother who always told him to trust the red string that would lead him to his soulmate. But Julian's string is a tangled mess of knots, leading him in no clear direction. He's a talented musician, but his life is a series of half-finished projects and unresolved relationships. He's spent years searching for meaning in the chaos of his string, questioning whether it's fate or his own choices that have brought him to this point. Despite his confusion, Julian has never stopped believing that the right connection could untangle everything, even if he's never quite sure where to start. The story follows Ivy and Julian on their journey of self-discovery, testing the boundaries between fate and free will. As they untangle the mysteries of the red string and explore the depths of their connection, they must decide if they can truly break free from the idea of predestined love or if their hearts were always meant to follow the threads that bind them.Complete

She swore she'd never come back - not after Cal didn't show up at the station, not after the dreams they built together dissolved into silence. The city was supposed to fix her, to make her someone new. But when Sadie - her childhood friend, the light of the town - dies unexpectedly, Ivy is pulled back to the place she's spent years trying to forget. Now Alder's Edge feels both familiar and foreign: the rain-slicked streets, the café her mother still runs, her younger brother suddenly grown, and Cal - still behind the counter at Brennan's Records, still carrying the quiet weight of everything left unsaid. As Ivy navigates grief, guilt, and the ghosts of who she used to be, she's forced to confront what really drove her away - and what might still be waiting for her if she dares to stay. Because sometimes, the hardest person to forgive is yourself. And sometimes, love never really leaves - it just waits for you to come home.
