"The Olive Tree's Embrace and the Scent of the Sea" is a heartfelt story woven with nostalgia, history, and a deep connection to the land. The narrative begins in a quiet garden, where the protagonist, seeking comfort beneath an ancient olive tree, is transported back to a childhood memory-a school trip to the historic city of Acre.

As she stands by the towering walls of Acre, gazing at the vast sea, she becomes immersed in the echoes of the past, recalling tales of resistance and resilience. Through poetic storytelling, the story captures the essence of a homeland deeply rooted in history, where childhood innocence intertwines with an enduring sense of identity and belonging.

With vivid imagery and an evocative narrative, this story invites readers on a journey through time, where the olive tree and the sea become symbols of memory, strength, and an unbreakable bond with the homeland

‹‹Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there.›› Adele and Nina, two inseparable sisters, once believed their family was an unbreakable fortress - a safe place where happiness felt eternal. But in a heartbeat, that safety shatters, and their world is forever changed. Their father, their stedfast anchor, has disappeared without a word. The man who once loved them has moved on, leaving them behind. What they don't know is that their world has been turned upside down, and the reality they know is built on lies. For years, they will navigate life under this shadow, viewing their existence through a lens distorted by someone else's deceit, bearing the immense pain of betrayal. But breaking free from this fictitious world isn't easy, for it demands confronting an even harsher truth: the person behind the deception is the one they hold most dear. "Hope is a Gentle Flicker" is a story that explores the fragile dynamics of blended families, the weight of unspoken emotions, and the ways love can become entangled in misunderstandings and hurt. But maybe, amidst the darkness, there may still exist a light - a delicate, flickering light that refuses to be extinguished. A love that, though unspoken, persists, quietly illuminating their path. *** This book is a memoir based on real events from my life. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

I ask while highly aware that he's backed me up against my car. "Hmm..." He trails off as his arms rest on either side of my body. He steps closer until our lips are just a breath away and my heart starts to race in anticipation. "Your gorgeous eyes that take my breath away...your sweet smile that can bring me to my knees...your touch that drives me crazy -" "Theo..." I shake my head as a fierce blush heats my cheeks. He leans in and pulls me against him by my waist. I release a shaky breath when the need to kiss him becomes overwhelming. "I could go on forever darlin." Unable to help myself I press my lips to his. He groans huskily before tangling his fingers in my hair. I hesitantly bite down on his bottom lip before soothing the sting.

"Cedar and Pearl: A Love Unwritten" is a haunting tale of a love as shimmering as the gold souks of Dubai, yet worth far less in the end. It is the story of Anna, a woman who gave everything-her heart, her soul, her very being-to a man who could never match the depth of her love. Set amidst the gleaming skyscrapers and shifting sands of the UAE, this is not a romance; it's a revelation. Anna's love for Adel-a man as steadfast yet distant as a cedar tree-was her beacon and her downfall. She poured herself into his world, navigating cultural barriers, familial chaos, and the storms of his insecurities, only to discover that some loves are never meant to be valued, no matter how precious they feel. From the euphoria of love's first bloom to the anguish of betrayal and abandonment, Anna's story is raw and unfiltered. It is a journey through nights of tears, days of sacrifice, and moments of quiet devastation. When faced with the ultimate betrayal-infidelity and rejection even as she carries his child-Anna is forced to find the strength to reclaim her worth from the ashes of a love that promised everything but delivered only pain. In a city where fortunes are built and dreams are shattered, Anna learns the hardest truth: love should be priceless, but sometimes, it's not even worth the weight of sand. "Cedar and Pearl" is a deeply emotional exploration of love's fragility and the resilience it takes to walk away from a love that was never yours. For those who have ever given their all to someone who gave so little in return, this story will leave you breathless, heartbroken, and inspired.

After losing her job and her girlfriend, it's time for Annie Abraham to admit defeat and move back in with her parents. She has hardly been back to her tiny Montana hometown since the unforgettable summer before her senior year of college, when she agreed to babysit for Laurel Jacobs. Annie didn't expect to fall in love back then, and she never thought that after all this time she'd still be in love with the woman she walked away from when she was twenty-one. Laurel Jacobs has never gotten over Annie Abraham. It's been almost a decade since their fling and she can't move on. She has her kids to think about - at least, she tells herself that's why she hasn't been on a single date since Annie left. Her life was different back then: when they met, she was in the middle of a divorce with two young kids and no idea how the future looked. Now she owns a bookstore, her kids are growing up, and she's too busy for romance. Annie thought she would have more time to settle back into life in Deer Pines before being confronted by the love of her life, but she's not that lucky. After all this time, she's back for good and Laurel is the first person she sees, when she has just spent seventeen hours on a train and she's desperately in need of caffeine. It's the first time they've seen each other in eight years and it isn't long before all those old feelings come rushing back to the surface. They weren't buried as deep as they thought they were. A lot has changed since they last saw each other, more than either of them realize, but life hands out second chances for a reason. The first time they fell in love, the timing was wrong. Now's their chance to make it right. © Elle Carrigan 2023
