They were never meant to meet. They were never meant to love. And yet-
In 1813, Grey Van Cortlandt is sent from his privileged life in the city to the rugged countryside-a punishment in disguise, meant to "toughen him up" before he is forced into an arranged marriage. There, he meets Nick Colt: sharp-tongued, strong-willed, and nothing like anyone Grey has ever known. Nick is poor, rough around the edges, and entirely captivating. As the seasons pass, a friendship blooms into something far more dangerous: a love that could ruin them both.
Love, and Other Unforgivable Things asks the question: when the world demands a choice between love and survival, which path leads to happiness-and which to regret?
A heart-wrenching, life-spanning novel about forbidden love, family, sacrifice, and the quiet strength it takes to live a true life in a false world.

Saving Grace
In Northvale, Vermont, appearances are everything-and silence is safer than truth. Riley swore she'd never go back. After Grace ghosted her the week she left, after the countless moments under the train bridge where Riley told her best friend, Grace, that she loved her, and Grace said nothing. She moved weeks later and never heard from Grace again. Northvale became a place Riley only carried in memory-a place that hurt. Years later, Riley is building a life far from it all in Chicago. But when something deep and unnamed pulls her back, she finds herself standing once again in the town that made her feel small. And standing face-to-face with Grace Whitmore's parents-who, with haunting familiarity, invite her to stay in Grace's house. The place where she practically grew up. Grace has spent the last seven years trying to forget. Forget how she froze. Forget how she let Riley leave. Forget who she really was before the expectations of her family, her church, and her town hardened into something unrecognizable. Riley's return threatens all of it. As the two women are forced to navigate a shared home, buried feelings resurface-and so do the forces that drove them apart. In a town that still watches their every move, Riley and Grace must decide what's more dangerous: pretending to be something they're not, or choosing each other and facing the consequences. ⸻ ⚠️THIS BOOK IS STILL IN THE MAKING AND MANY EDITS ARE TO COME⚠️Complete
