Fixing Grace
Caleb is a National Guard mechanic with a quiet soul, rough hands, and a history he doesn't talk about. Aaliyah is a single mother with two kids, a past she's fought to outrun, and no room left in her heart for fairytales. Their worlds collide when her car breaks down and he shows up-not just to fix the engine, but slowly, quietly, to start fixing everything else, too. This is a story about healing, about second chances, and about the kind of love that doesn't shout-but stays. It's raw. It's imperfect. And maybe, just maybe, it's grace.Complete
Unfold
Jeanette Arthur had no idea what was going to happen to her when they opened the doors. Was she going to die? Or would she wish she was dead? She began to think that this kind of thing didn't happen to people like her, but she realized how wrong she was. This became her story's end the night she picked up those drinks. When she let herself step into that building, when she accepted that job and put on those clothes. They had made her believe she was important. Special. Worth loving. She had thought all these people wanted her, but they only wanted the lie she was selling. She knew this was no longer pretend. She was no longer in control, and she was no longer the one selling herself. She wanted someone to rewrite her story. So for the first time in her life, she raised up her hands, and she started to pray.Complete

Faith grew up with rules. Strict household. Church every Sunday. A mama who don't play, and a heart too soft for her own good. But when her quiet world collides with temptation, secrets, and a boy who makes her feel everything she tried to pray away... she starts moving different. Her feelings get deeper, her decisions get riskier-and the line between right and wrong starts to blur. The deeper she steps into the world she once watched from behind a window, the more she realizes why her mama kept her hidden. The truth? It's darker than she ever imagined. Now she's changing-slowly becoming someone she swore she'd never be. And the girl she used to be? She might not make it out alive.Complete
The space between
She's not the woman she thought she was - not the calm, controlled one. Torn between the weight of her mistakes and the pain of what's been taken from her, she's spiraling through anger, heartbreak, and a desperate need to be seen. This isn't about perfect love or clean endings. It's about the messy, real battle inside a woman who's learning to face her darkest truths... and maybe, just maybe, find a way back to herself. No apologies. No filter. Just Angela.

But resisting him? Feels impossible. And if Nate's not careful, Damien might burn his whole world down-and Nate might just let him.
