Sometimes, love doesn't ask for promises-just presence.
Gretah Dela Torre had stopped waiting for the kind of love that consumes. At 30, she's learned to pour her heart into things that matter-like the grassroots NGO she leads and the lives she helps rebuild. But when a field assignment brings her back in touch with Liam Ruiz, a quiet but steady presence from her past, Gretah begins to question if maybe, just maybe, love was never gone-just waiting between the lines.
What starts as a reconnection turns into something deeper: healing conversations, old memories, and new beginnings that don't ask for labels or deadlines-only presence.
Between the Lines is the first book in "The Girls We Were" -a heartfelt, romantic series about women in their 30s who've made peace with being single... until life, love, and timing say otherwise.
Come for the slow burn, stay for the emotional unraveling, and rediscover what it means to fall-this time, with both feet on the ground.

Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.
Letting You Go
Sometimes, love doesn't fade away... it just waits for the right time to return. Two souls who once loved each other but were forced to part ways by a fate that wasn't on their side. Years passed, wounds have healed, hearts have come to terms-or so they thought. When fate brings them back together in a foreign city, long-buried memories begin to resurface. In the silence they once left behind, will they rekindle their love... or let everything go once more, this time for good?Concluida
Stay: A Story About Two women, One Garden, and the Courage to Stay
Stay is a story about the quiet magic of choosing love after betrayal. When Eva burns a feather and a note in her garden, she isn't casting a spell-she's planting a second chance. What begins as a forbidden entanglement with Alberto becomes a catalyst for deeper healing between Eva and her estranged daughter, Susan. Through ritual, silence, and soil-stained hands, they learn that love isn't always loud-it's the courage to remain when leaving would be easier. A tale of emotional aftermath, sensual truth, and the resilience of the human spirit, Stay explores the fragile bond between mother and daughter, and the quiet rituals that mend what was once broken. Author's Note This story bloomed from silence-from the ache between words, the rituals we keep, and the love we dare not name aloud. Stay is a meditation on longing, betrayal, and the fragile beauty of healing. It moves slowly, deliberately, like a hand brushing past memory. Within these pages, you'll find moments of tenderness and rupture. The love depicted is raw, sensual, and unflinching. It's not meant to shock, but to reveal what happens when two souls meet in the dark and choose not to look away. If you've ever loved too late, or held grief like a prayer, this story is for you. Thank you for reading with an open heart. -DavidConcluida

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Concluida
