At fifteen, Sarai Bennett thought she had love all figured out.
It looked like a basketball player with a southern drawl and a smile that made the world tilt. It felt like Atlanta sunsets, inside jokes, and the promise that distance could never break what they had.
But forever doesn't always last the way you imagine it.
Years later, Sarai finds herself looking back , not to rewrite the past, but to finally understand it. Through the glow of memory and the ache of growing up, she rediscovers what love really means: not the way it begins, but the way it changes you.
Set between the golden summers of adolescence and the quiet truths of adulthood, Before I Knew What Love Was is a story about first love, distance, and finding yourself after the heartbreak fades.

Distant love
Maria had always been a girl of deep and tangible connection. Love, to her, was the warmth of her boyfriend's hand in hers, the scent of his skin, his presence, the way he had the power to turn every mess into a love island. She never believed in long-distance love until it became the only kind of love she had left. When she leaves her home, flying to Cape Town, she carries with her the weight of heartbreak, the ache of leaving the guy of her dreams and a vow not to give up on their story. With the fear of change pressing in, she promises herself she'll never fall again but her plans begin to unravel the moment a simple virtual message arrives. What starts as a distant notification slowly turns into something closer... something real. Still holding on to the desire not to give up on the love of her life, she finds unexpected comfort in a stranger's words, someone who somehow understands her more deeply than anyone else virtually. Torn between the fear of letting go and the fragile hope of connection, she must choose: can a heart weakened by distance learn to love again through miles away? Distant Love is the first book in a trilogy about distant hearts, unexpected healing, and the kind of love that changes everything even from afar.Concluída
Unconditional Love: From Unfinished to Forever
She was his past. His "what-if." His unfinished chapter. He left without a word. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence-cold, heavy, louder than any heartbreak could ever be. The truth came later, sharp and merciless: he had already found someone else. A new girl. A new life. And she-still trapped in the ruins of their love-was left with only questions that had no answers. She never hated him. Not truly. She hated the pain. The emptiness. The nights spent whispering his name into the darkness, hoping it would reach him somehow. She hated how her heart refused to let go, how her love-quiet, loyal, undying-remained, even when he was gone. Years passed. And then he returned. Mature. Changed. Sincere. The boy who had broken her had become a man carrying the weight of his mistakes after he knows the truth about her. Once, they had been reckless hearts, loving without knowing forever. Now, the same love returned-stronger, deeper, and more dangerous than ever. He was her peace in chaos, her truth in silence, the only man she had ever truly loved. And yet, she knew the truth: loving him again could destroy everything. It could break her all over again, or break the life he had now built. And still, the pull between them was irresistible, a force she could not deny. Her heart whispered the choice she would make, even as her mind screamed its warning. Some love-unfinished, eternal, impossible-refuses to be left behind. And she would follow it, knowing the regret that would haunt her for the rest of her life. When hearts-once they have found their other half-will chase it even into heartbreak. Even into ruin. True love is unstoppable and unconditional No matter where life leads, no matter the distance, when one heart trembles, the other reaches without hesitation- to embrace, to soothe, to whisper, "I AM ALWAYS HERE.""Chapter 1: The Perfect Partnership

The Art of Falling for You
"love story" we all have heard this term many times in our lives but there are 80% people who are stuck in an one sided love or have never experienced a true love. Riya was just thirteen when she first saw Aarav at their school, a boy with an easy smile and eyes that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. For her, it wasn't just a crush-it was a dream, a promise, a story she believed was meant to be. She admired him from afar, cherishing every fleeting moment they shared in the same classroom, from his laughter echoing in the hallways to the way he brushed his hair off his forehead when deep in thought. As the years passed, Riya's feelings for Aarav only deepened. She would write his name in the margins of her notebooks, replay their brief conversations in her mind, and imagine a life where he might one day see her the way she saw him. But life, as it often does, had other plans. Aarav was kind, charming, and friendly, but to him, Riya was just another classmate. He was oblivious to the love that quietly bloomed in her heart, too engrossed in his own ambitions and the fleeting teenage romances that never seemed to last. As they grew older, Riya's unspoken love became a bittersweet companion. She watched from the sidelines as Aarav dated other girls, confided his dreams to friends, and pursued a world she felt too afraid to enter. Though her heart ached, Riya found solace in the idea that love could exist even if it wasn't returned. But fate has a curious way of testing hearts. "A Glimpse of Forever" is a poignant tale of longing, self-discovery, and the complexities of love that refuses to fade, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones we write for ourselves.

Love in every 30 seconds
Before starting this story read the first part of the series - when the destiny interrupted. It all began with a follow request. Not a rose. Not a perfect meet-cute. Just a profile, a meme, and thirty seconds of hesitation that changed everything. But what happens when every thirty seconds carries a different story-one of longing, silence, heartbreak, and hope? Reet thought destiny had already interrupted her once. Yet here she is again-caught between unread messages, secret crushes, and the quiet ache of words left unsaid. Every pause in a chat, every view on a story, every unexpected confession feels like another test... another twist she never saw coming. Is this love, or just another illusion the universe is playing with her? And if love really can happen in every thirty seconds... how long can it last? A continuation of When the Destiny Interrupted-this story isn't about fairytale endings. It's about the raw, confusing, beautiful mess of finding love in the most unexpected places... and the haunting question of whether destiny will allow it to stay.Concluída
