1096.
The Pope calls for holy war, crusades, promising forgiveness, glory, and heaven to any man who takes up the Cross.

When a young villager joins the First Crusade, it's not out of faith, it's because there's nothing left to lose. His parents are dead. His village forgotten. And his only friend, the reckless and burning Mathias, believes marching east will cleanse their sins in blood.

But as the crusade descends into chaos and cruelty, Raimond begins to see the truth: the Cross he wears is no shield, it's a brand. One that marks him, and everyone around him, for violence he can't justify.

Haunted by what he's witnessed, torn between loyalty and conscience, Raimond must choose: follow the path to Jerusalem... or walk away from everything-including the only friend he has left.

Faith. Fire. Betrayal. The road to salvation is paved in blood.

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies.

Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. MrΓ— A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.

She's panting, flushed and breathless like something from another century. It hurts to look at her, so stunningly alive in a way he isn't. Almost smiling, too. She has the kind of lips that need undiluted devotion. "You've always looked at me," she breathes. Yes, and he finds himself thinking about ruin. The right kind, like his knuckles against her jaw to shake her apart. He thinks about ruin the same way he thinks about freedom because maybe, in another life, he brushes the hair off her shoulder and whispers, 'Eyes on me.' Maybe, in another life, they have time.

He's a cop, she's taken, and rules are rules. But Faro Wyatt has mapped every freckle on her nose and dreamt of how she moves. His resolve is weakening. When his radio crackles with a single call, he's breaking every rule from here on out. *** Their worlds collide on fault lines of pain. Police uncover a dangerous network of corruption. Love is forbidden, justice demands sacrifice, and the stakes have never been higher. How far is anyone willing to go to protect the things they love?

In Authentically His, Soren has spent years trying to meet the expectations of others-especially her parents and the church. But no matter how hard she tried, it never felt right. After years of living under the pressure to be perfect, she's done pretending. It's time for her to live authentically-for herself and for God. When Soren meets Liam, a man who sees her for who she truly is, not just the person others want her to be, she's faced with the most difficult question of all: Can she let go of the past, embrace the love she deserves, and allow herself to walk in faith while living authentically in her relationship? Soren's journey is full of challenges, personal growth, faith, and, most importantly, the love she's always dreamed of-a love grounded in truth, acceptance, and the belief that God guides us all to the right path. As Soren navigates her relationship with her family, her career, and Liam, she learns that love isn't about perfection-it's about being real, vulnerable, and fully accepting the journey God has planned for her. In this heartfelt story of self-discovery, authentic love, and unshakable faith, Soren learns that the most important relationship she can have is the one with herself. And, with Liam by her side, she discovers that she is authentically His-and authentically his, too.

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions. Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up. There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years. But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’ !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! β€’ slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts β€’ substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD β€’ sexual assault, domestic abuse β€’ strong language and mature scenes β€’ β€’ β€’ β€’
