In the opulent world of high fashion, Kiara Adler's life is a tangled web of loss and longing. Four years ago, a tragic accident left her husband, Alistair-the brilliant mastermind behind a million-dollar textiles empire-in a coma, and since then, she has been drowning in a sea of bitterness and grief. The lavish galas, vibrant fabrics, and bustling boardrooms that once sparked joy now feel like a gilded cage. As she struggles to keep the business afloat, the weight of sorrow drags her deeper into despair.
Leonard Evans, her new assistant. With an infectious laugh and a talent for infusing the dullest meetings with warmth and wit, Leonard quickly becomes a breath of fresh air in Kiara's stifling life. As he helps her navigate the complexities of the company, a compelling friendship blossoms-one that ignites a flicker of hope within Kiara's heart. Leonard believes in the beauty of second chances, and despite her hesitations, he encourages her to rediscover the vibrant woman she once was.
But as Kiara begins to embrace life again, she grapples with an impossible choice: to awaken her heart to new love, or remain bound to the ghost of the past. When the reality of Alistair's uncertain future looms larger than ever, Kiara must confront her feelings for both men. Can she risk everything for the chance at happiness, or will she forever be haunted by the threads of her past?

In *The Second stitch*, explore a poignant journey of love, loss, and the courage it takes to step out of the shadows and into the light. Will Kiara have the strength to sew her heart back together, or will fear keep her trapped in a life of unfulfilled dreams?All Rights Reserved

BEYOND by feufeu15

Until one fatal accident. __________ When she loses the love of her life in a car crash, Althea has nothing left in California. So mourning and broken, she follows Asher's last wish: moving to New York and realizing her dream of becoming a fashion designer. But what happens when, three years later, she comes back home to get closure before getting promoted and married, and she finds her late boyfriend very much alive and paralyzed in a wheelchair? Asher would have never expected to see Althea again in his lifetime. He gave up on her, with his hope of walking again, long ago. And yet, here she is, the woman who's always had the power to shake his certainties, standing in front of him and bringing more than his heart out of numbness. With her, the half-man he's been for the past three years could be whole again and finally touch hope. If his pride doesn't stand in the way. If she lets her guard down again, because he isn't the only one who got wounded in this accident, and the ring on her finger isn't the only thing that has changed about the colorful girl he knew. Can their love go beyond lies, disability, ghosts of the past, new engagements, and all the opposite forces tearing them apart? __________ Featured in Wattpad Romance Head Over Heels' reading list in November 2023.
