She wasn't supposed to matter.
Not like this.
Not enough to make me break my own rules.
But the way she looked at me-
Like I was the only safe thing in a world that never gave her one-
Changed everything.
This isn't a love story.
It's survival.
And maybe...
It's something more.
I wasn't looking to be saved.
People like me don't get rescued. We survive. Quietly. Carefully. Alone.
But then she looked at me like I wasn't broken-
Like I was worth staying for.
She doesn't know what I've done to make it this far.
She doesn't know what I am.
And if she ever finds out...
Will she still stay?

Forbidden Love
She was supposed to be a stranger. Now she's standing at the front of my classroom. Ivy Thomas wanted a quiet start new campus, new life, nothing complicated. But that promise shatters the night she meets a woman in the bookstore dark eyes, commanding voice, the kind of beauty that leaves fingerprints on your thoughts. The next morning, that same woman walks into the lecture hall. Professor Hernández. Sharp. Brilliant. Intimidating. And completely off-limits. Her gaze lingers too long. Her words cut too close. Every rule says stay away yet every look says don't. She challenges Ivy, tests her, unravels her with nothing but a stare. Because this isn't a story about a crush. It's about the slow, dangerous pull between two women who should know better and the moment wanting her becomes something Ivy can't control. She challenges me. Intimidates me. Sees right through me. And even when I know I should walk away... I can't. Because sometimes the most forbidden love is the one that feels inevitable.
BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete

A girl who made me fall in love again. A girl who made me forget all the things that I've been through because she made my present more than just worth living, and my future to be worth looking forward to.

I'm horrible at descriptions, but trust me, it's gonna be good 🥉in wuhluhwuh 🥉in gayness
