They built a life together. A family. A company. A future.
But somewhere between boardroom meetings and bedtime stories, the spark faded.
Sienna Brooks thought the life she worked so hard to build was enough. Until the husband she trusted found new excitement in someone younger, someone new-someone who wasn't her.
Betrayed but not broken, Sienna won't fall apart.
She'll rise.
And when Miles Bennett, a quiet force from her past, reappears with eyes that never stopped seeing her, Sienna learns that sometimes, love doesn't shout-it waits.
This is a story about heartbreak, healing, and falling in love again-this time, with someone who's been ready all along.
(POV switches ahead-because both sides of the story matter, even if one's being a dumbass. You'll see.)

Between Love & Lies
Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~
Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Завершенная история

At eighteen, Laura Quinn was abandoned and pregnant-but she never gave up. With fierce determination, she raised her daughter, Camil, forging a life out of nothing. But just as they began to find their footing, life struck again. A devastating illness left Laura fragile, and Camil-still a teenager-became caregiver, breadwinner, and daughter all at once. Laura's greatest sorrow wasn't her illness-it was the fear she couldn't give Camil the future she deserved. Then, tragedy. Laura's passing leaves Camil truly alone, barely an adult and drowning in grief. Until a ray of hope breaks through: her best friend helps her land a high-paying job with a powerful and enigmatic employer, Mr. Dvreis. But the job isn't what it seems. As Camil is drawn deeper into a world of secrets, shadows, and unexpected power, she begins to unravel truths about herself-and her past-that will change everything she thought she knew. Love, betrayal, and destiny collide in this emotionally charged tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the hidden strength within us all.

But when Aiden suddenly announces he no longer believes in marriage, Delilah walks away - heartbroken and pregnant. Aiden isn't ready to let go. As he fights to win her back, old wounds reopen, lies unravel, and family ties twist into threats. Can love survive when trust is gone? Or is their bond already broken beyond repair?
Blossom
A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

She used to be the girl who feared no one - the one who spoke first, loved openly, and never apologised for it. Until one night destroyed everything. The world that once welcomed her suddenly judged her, and she learned the hardest lesson of all - loving honestly doesn't always mean being loved back kindly. Years later, Adira lives quietly, far from the girl she used to be. She runs a small café, keeps her distance from people, and trusts no one. Then he walks in. Kabir - the man she once loved... now holding the hand of a two-year-old boy. And the child looks at her like she already belongs in his world. Old wounds reopen. Unspoken truths resurface. And the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes fate and destiny meet in the most unexpected ways - and second chances come when you least expect them.
