Elodie Carrington thought she knew what her life would look like - a city apartment, a steady relationship, and a perfectly curated future. But when she walks in on her fiancé with another woman, everything unravels. Lost in heartbreak and the shame of having shaped herself around someone who never truly saw her, Elodie flees the wreckage of her old life.
A surprise inheritance pulls her back to Maribelle, a sleepy town filled with childhood memories and the scent of wildflowers. There, in a crumbling house that needs as much rebuilding as she does, Elodie meets Leo Hart - a kind, steady man with a gentle dog and a wounded past of his own.
But just as Elodie begins to find peace in the quiet rhythm of rural life and Leo's grounding presence, the past collides with the present: Ash, Leo's estranged older brother and the magnetic stranger Elodie shared a passionate kiss with in the city, returns.
Ash is wild where Leo is safe. Restless where Leo is rooted. And yet, Ash sees something in Elodie no one else ever has - not even herself.
Caught between two brothers - one who offers comfort, the other who ignites her - Elodie must decide what she truly wants: safety, passion, or the strength to choose herself.
Set against the backdrop of a town that blooms slowly but fully, Where the Wildflowers Bloom is a deeply romantic, emotionally rich story of heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that makes you brave.

Forgotten Truths
Skylar Green never believed her first year of university would change everything. Innocent, naive, but stubbornly down to earth, she only wanted to keep her head down, study hard, and avoid distractions. But then she meets Adrian Hart- Her brother's best friend. Adrian is everything Skylar swore she'd never fall for, especially because she already had a man in her life, Enzo. Tattooed, magnetic, and dangerous in ways she can't quite name, he hides arrogance behind a smirk and mystery behind those piercing green eyes. He's the kind of man who takes what he wants-and somehow, what he wants is her. Passion. Possessiveness. A pull she can't explain. Skylar quickly finds herself caught in Adrian's world, a world that feels thrilling and intoxicating... until it all comes crashing down. And then one truth shatters everything... A truth so devastating it sends her running into the storm. A truth she may never forgive. A truth that ends with screeching tires, shattered glass, and darkness. When she wakes, her memory is gone. But the secret remains. Who can she trust when everyone around her has something to hide? What is Adrian keeping buried behind that smoldering gaze? And when the forgotten truths finally come to light... will they ruin her, or set her free?
