Between Two Hearts
In a quiet Southern town where whispers carry farther than the wind, Alaina finds herself trapped in the storm of her own emotions. Life was simpler when it was just her and Alex, her steadfast childhood sweetheart. Alex's easygoing charm and familiar warmth had always made her feel safe-like home. But lately, their love, once full of promise, has started to feel like a cage.
Then came Damien. Mysterious and magnetic, he arrived in town with a past he kept hidden and eyes that seemed to see straight into her soul. His presence was a stark contrast to the life Alaina knew. With him, she felt free-alive in a way she never had before.
As her feelings for Damien grew, so did her guilt. Alex had stood by her through everything, through heartbreaks and triumphs. He loved her completely, even when she doubted herself. But how could she ignore the pull she felt toward Damien? His quiet intensity and the way he challenged her to dream bigger, to think of a life beyond the town's borders, were impossible to resist.
Caught between two loves-one rooted in comfort and history, the other in uncharted passion-Alaina struggles to find herself amidst the chaos. Her decision will not only define her future but risk tearing apart everything she holds dear.
As Alaina confronts the delicate balance between the love that built her and the love that awakens her, she must decide: will she follow her heart's desire or stay loyal to the one who has always been by her side?

In the quiet corners of a small town, Marcella lives with a fire she never asked for. Born with a name that means goddess of war, she has spent her entire life trying-and failing-to tame the rage that burns inside her.

Because of it, friendships have faded, trust has cracked, and peace feels like something made for other people. Now twenty-three, Marcella wakes each morning hoping to feel normal. Hoping not to snap. But even on the calmest days, something always finds a way to go wrong. She's tired of hurting the people she loves-especially the two boys who've stood by her through every meltdown and mess. They see the girl behind the fire, even when she doesn't. This is Marcella's story ,raw, unfiltered, and painfully human. It's about learning to face the past, to accept help, and to believe just maybe that she's more than the anger she's carried for so long.

LOVING, ANNOYINGLY
Aarav was never meant to run away. He just wanted to prove a point-to make his family realize that he wasn't invisible, that he mattered. But in his reckless escape, he stumbled upon something far greater than freedom. He found Meera. A girl, wounded and alone, hiding in the shadows of a ship bound for nowhere. She had seen the worst of humanity, and love? Love was never in her plans. But fate had other ideas. From strangers to reluctant allies, from survival partners to something more-Aarav and Meera built a life neither of them had expected. He, a boy who loved too much. She, a girl who never wanted love at all. Through teasing fights, stubborn silences, and quiet moments of healing, they grew together. Aarav, ever the dramatic, clingy mess of a man, spent years pestering Meera for affection. And Meera? Well, she spent years pretending she didn't care. Until one day, she did. Until one day, she said it. A story of found family, healing, and the most unlikely kind of love-one that grows, slowly, stubbornly, and beautifully.Lengkap

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek.
