After surviving a harrowing night on Blackwood Mountain, Sam and Mike struggle to rebuild their lives, haunted by memories they can't escape. Broken by fear and bound by shared trauma, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways as they search for solace in a world that feels forever altered.
But healing is never easy, and the shadows of the past have a way of creeping back into the present. As Sam battles her demons and Mike confronts the cracks in his own facade, the two find themselves drawn together - not by choice, but by the undeniable need to feel alive again.
Through sleepless nights, quiet confessions, and fleeting moments of laughter, they learn that survival was only the beginning. Together, they must navigate the blurred line between holding on and letting go, uncovering truths about themselves - and each other - that they never expected to face.
In this slow-burn tale of vulnerability, resilience, and rediscovery, the question isn't just whether they can escape their past - but whether they can find a future worth fighting for.

Rebuilt: book 1
Jenna has spent years surviving the shadows of pain-betrayed, silenced, and told she was unworthy of love. Between the scars of her past, the weight of raising her boys, and the suffocating presence of a narcissistic ex, she learned to hide her heart behind walls. Love, to her, was always fleeting. Trust, impossible. Joy, a memory. Until Mike. They met in the most modern of ways, but their connection grew with the urgency of something timeless. His steady patience, daily FaceTimes, and gentle teasing began to stitch together the piece of her broken confidence. He saw her-not as a burden, not as someone broken, but as beautiful, strong, and desirable. Their story burns with passion and tenderness in equal measures. Nights of raw desire leaves Jenna trembling and breathless, but also cherished, safe, and wanted in ways she never believed possible. For the first time in her life, intimacy is more than survival-it's joy, it's freedom, it's hers to claim. Through laughter, trust, and the kids of intimacy that makes walls crumble, Jenna begins to dream again: of love that is spoken out loud, of mornings with coffee in teal cups, of being walked down the aisle in a dress that's truly hers, and of a future with the sound of children's laughter and the promise of more to come. Together, Jenna and Mike's love story is about more than sex, more than romance-it's about rebirth. About taking the shattered pieces of a past no one should endure and building something stronger, brighter, and wholly theirs. It's messy. It's tender. It's rough and wet and breathless. But above all-it's real.Complete
