🎬 Second Take
A slow-burn, collegue-to-lovers romance between a guarded indie director and the Hollywood actor she never wanted to cast.
When Noah Calloway signs onto a quiet, emotional film set in the hills of Italy, he's hoping to escape the pressure of fame-and maybe rediscover the part of himself he lost somewhere between red carpets and rehearsed interviews.
He doesn't expect Emery Voss.
She's young, sharp-tongued, and fiercely private. A rising star in the indie world with a reputation for refusing studio interference-until the studio assigns her him. To Emery, James is nothing but a pretty face, a risk to her vision, and the exact kind of man she's vowed to never trust again.
But behind the scenes of a film about forbidden love, something real begins to unfold between them. A late-night dinner. A kiss that wasn't in the script. Eyes that say too much between takes.
And when the cameras stop rolling, they're forced to ask the question:
What if the best scenes were never written at all?

web of hearts
After years of living with rheumatoid arthritis, 34-year-old Rose has spent most of her life in the shadows of her own dreams. A career working with children with special educational needs, while fulfilling, left her exhausted and feeling disconnected from the world outside her job. Now, at a crossroads, Rose decides to leave behind the bustling city and move to the quiet countryside, where she can be closer to family, heal, and start over. Taking a new job as a nanny in a small village, Rose is drawn into a life she never expected-one where love and connection aren't as simple as she once thought. There, she meets Emmy, a spirited young girl with a heart full of questions, and her two uncles, each holding secrets and scars of their own. Luc is the charismatic, protective uncle with a past he's determined to keep hidden. He's everything Rose has ever wanted in a partner-warm, supportive, but there's a darkness behind his smile she can't quite place. Then there's Adam, the other uncle, who struggles with trust and vulnerability. He's been hurt before, and opening up to anyone feels like a risk he's unwilling to take, even if Rose feels drawn to him in a way she doesn't understand. As Rose begins to navigate her own fears of connection, love, and healing, she must decide what she's willing to risk-and whether she's ready to embrace the complexities of a life that's as beautifully tangled as the relationships she's slowly beginning to unravel.Concluida
💘 Where We Fell Apart...
💘 Where We Fell Apart A novel about love, loss, and the pieces we choose to keep. Emery Blake doesn't believe in second chances-not when it comes to love, and definitely not when it comes to Noah Hale. It's been four years since the night everything shattered: the words that weren't said, the choice that tore them apart, and the letter Noah never opened. Now, fate (or maybe just a badly timed wedding invite) brings Emery back to the coastal town she swore she'd never return to-and right back into Noah's orbit. Noah is no longer the boy who used to sketch her dreams in the margins of his notebook. He's built walls, and Emery's the last person he expected to see on the other side. But when a shared past refuses to stay buried, and old feelings start slipping through the cracks, they're forced to confront the question they've been avoiding all along: What if the love they lost was never really gone-just waiting to be rewritten?Concluida
Almost Everything

Her parents spent more time chasing their dreams and less time with their two children. Jackson Williams is Avery's best friend since birth. He is the only person in her life that she trusts and he has never let her down. Jackson is studying at NYU to be a lawyer, but decides to give it all up and move to California to be closer to Avery when she made it big. Over the years, Avery starts realizing that she is falling for her best friend, but her mother is keeping a deep, dark secret from her and it will tear everything she loves away. Avery has to decide between betraying her best friend by telling him the truth or letting him go to find love with someone else. This book is a work of fiction.

Life and Emery
In a quiet town pulsing with secrets and second chances, Life and Emery follows the journey of Emery-a woman haunted by loss, fiercely independent, and unexpectedly pregnant-as she stumbles into a life that feels both foreign and strangely meant to be. Offered refuge behind the bustling warmth of a local bar, she carves out a modest sanctuary in a converted storage room, determined to rebuild her world piece by piece. But rebuilding isn't simple. Especially when Jamie-stoic, loyal, and frustratingly magnetic-keeps showing up, offering far more than safety. As their relationship deepens and emotional walls begin to crumble, Emery must confront the ghosts of her past, the tenderness of chosen family, and the terrifying beauty of becoming a mother. Woven through painterly scenes of domestic intimacy, fragile vulnerability, and quiet joy, this story is a love letter to found family, the ache of beginning again, and the fierce softness that comes with finally letting someone in.
