Hadley Walker has sworn off love for good. After fiancé ended their engagement, she's thrown herself into her career as a writer, determined to keep her heart safely off the page. But when her boss assigns her to co-write a memoir with former baseball star Levi James, she's ready to walk away.
Levi's career ended far too soon after a devastating injury, and the last thing Hadley wants to do is to relive the memory as her ex-fiancé's football career ended the very same way. The similarities cut too deep, and Hadley can't imagine spending weeks dredging up old wounds with a man who mirrors her past. But her boss won't take no for an answer. As the project forces them together, Hadley discovers that beneath Levi's tough exterior is a man grappling with what life looks like beyond the stadium lights. And Levi sees through Hadley's walls, challenging her to believe that endings can make way for new beginnings. Soon, the lines between professional and personal blur, and Hadley must decide if she's willing to risk her heart one more time-or let the chance at something real slip away.

Where the Magnolias Grow (editing)
Brielle Jackson and Levi Miller have been friends since they were six and were playing pee wee baseball together. Levi is a 6'0, athletic, blonde, fair-skinned, light brown eyed baseball player while Brielle is 5'4 and everything he is except she plays fastpitch softball now, has dark brown eyes and is African American. Their friendship never saw color as a boundary because the status was only that of best friends. As they grew older their friendship just grew stronger and feelings for each other morphed into something more. Coming out of the senior year, Levi tells Brielle some thing that changes the makeup of their friendship. Not only will their twelve year friendship be tested by outside forces but they both learn about the hard realities of the world around them. In the end, Brielle will have a decision to make, one that could destroy any chance she may have with the boy who's always had her heart. Can she use the strength, courage and perserverance she's learned from the place she's lived her entire life or will it break the strong young woman she became? Or will the outside forces using race as a divider become a boundary that destroys this friendship and growing love?Lengkap

Hello, my lovely readers 💕 This story continues from Between Two Worlds-introducing familiar faces and the threads that tie them together. While Book 2 follows some of the same characters, it's written as a standalone-so you can dive in without reading the first book. For those who have read Between Two Worlds, you'll discover deeper layers, hidden scars, and the tangled connections that shaped these lives. Janice Reynolds has everything she ever dreamed of-a rising career as a fashion designer in New York, a charming boyfriend, and a picture-perfect life. But when a wedding invitation pulls her back to London, she finds herself face-to-face with Tom-the boy with tousled hair, warm brown eyes... and the one almost kiss she never forgot. Neither of them reached out. Neither of them moved on. But some stories don't end just because they paused. Now, between wedding chaos, champagne secrets, and old friends colliding, Janice and Tom must decide if they were always meant to be more than a missed moment. Because sometimes, love doesn't come twice. Sometimes-it waits.Lengkap
