WHEN SHE FALLS
Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

I just buried my fiancé seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me.

What The Heart Remembers
Elizabeth Morgan knows what it means to survive. She endured the slow erosion of self-worth under a charming but controlling partner. After leaving Daniel, the man who quietly broke her spirit, her heart quite literally gave out. Diagnosed with stress-induced heart failure, she faced a year of limbo-grieving what was, fearing what's next, and clinging to the fragile hope of a transplant. Two years later, Elizabeth has a new heart and a quiet life. She's rebuilt from the ground up, choosing safety over risk, solitude over vulnerability. Love is no longer a part of the plan. Then she meets John Pearson-a warm, grounded literature professor who doesn't ask her to be anything more than she already is. What begins as a gentle friendship rooted in books and easy conversation begins to stir something deeper. But vulnerability is its own risk. As their bond grows, so do the fears Elizabeth thought she'd buried-fears of loss, of being broken again, of not surviving a second time. When John offers a love that feels steady and true, Elizabeth is faced with a question she never thought she'd ask again: Can she give her heart to someone new, knowing how fragile it's become-and how much it cost to start over? What the Heart Remembers is a story of resilience, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to open your heart again. Tender, hopeful, and emotionally rich, it's a celebration of second chances and love that's truly earned.Complete
