Three souls. One collision. A love that was never meant to be simple.
𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐜𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥
Erin has always kept her world orderly. Running an elite educational institution by day, pouring her heart into novels by night. But beneath her polished exterior lies a quiet storm of loneliness and grief she keeps hidden from everyone. Until one unexpected night splinters her perfectly curated world.
𝐍𝐨𝐚𝐡 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧
Noah is a therapist who thrives on stability and control. Calm, Grounded and Domineering in the ways that matter. He wasn't looking for a patient or a lover but Erin's vulnerability calls to something deeper within him. He wants to heal her, hold her and never let her go.
𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬
Then there's Chris who is witty, wildly successful architect with a swagger that masks a soul as broken as hers. He's everything Noah isn't. Chaotic, irreverent, dangerously charming. And somehow, he sees Erin in a way no one else ever has.
Thrown together by circumstance, the three form an unlikely, fragile bond. What starts as emotional refuge turns into something far more powerful and far more complicated.
Love. Desire. Trust. Jealousy. Secrets. Healing.
But when old wounds resurface and their bond is tested, they'll each have to choose. Whether to run from the storm or become each other's anchor.

A Scar Of Our Own (Now available on Amazon )
Allegra Westbrook thought she had forever. She and her husband were inseparable since their first year of college-best friends, lovers, soulmates. But forever shattered the night a car accident stole him away, leaving her a widow at just twenty-six, raising their infant son alone in a city where every street carried his memory. Desperate to breathe again, she packs up her life in London and crosses the ocean, searching for a place where her grief doesn't suffocate her. Isaac Molten knows fire, loss, and survival. For six years, he's run headfirst into flames as a small-town firefighter, saving lives even as he failed to save the only one who mattered most. His fiancée-his best friend since childhood-died just weeks before their wedding. Now thirty-one, Isaac lives with a hollow chest and a family that fears he'll burn himself out before he lets anyone in again. When Allegra and her son settle in Isaac's tight-knit Georgia town, neither is looking for love. What they find instead is recognition-in the way silence lingers, in the way grief leaves its mark, in the way scars can mirror each other across oceans. But falling for each other means facing the guilt of moving on, the whispers of a town that remembers too much, and the terror of losing again. Raw, heartbreaking, and redemptive, A Scar of Our Own is a story of second chances, of finding light in the ashes, and of learning that scars don't disappear-sometimes, they're what hold us together.Complete
