Crossroads Of The Heart
She woke up in a hospital bed, disoriented and aching, only to be hit with the devastating news-she had been in a terrible accident... and lost the last five years of her memory. The faces around her felt unfamiliar, except for two: her father... and Kai, the man her heart still called home. But reality didn't match her memories. Because everyone insisted she wasn't with Kai anymore. In fact, she was engaged-to someone else. A calm, steady man named Evan, who stayed by her side through the accident... and after. He claimed to love her. And he was patient-painfully patient-even offering to help her track down Kai, the man she swore was still her forever. As she tried to piece her life back together, torn between the ghost of her past and the man claiming her future, she began to uncover a truth deeper-and darker-than she ever expiected. Because finding Kai again wasn't the miracle she thought it would be. And remembering who she once was... might destroy who she's become.Complete

In The Time Between Heartbeats
Mira's world is a colorful mess-paint-splattered, a little chaotic, and full of unexpected moments that refuse to fit neatly into any schedule. She's the kind of person who gets tangled up in small adventures: rescuing pigeons, running late to class, and spilling coffee on her own shoes. Her life feels loud, a little bit clumsy, but somehow full of life. Then there's Ren-quiet, distant, almost ghostlike, carrying a silence that pulls the world's noise into a hush around him. He doesn't speak, not for an entire year, and no one really knows why. He's a puzzle Mira can't help but stare at during every chance they get. Between them lies the invisible space-the time between heartbeats. It's there that stories hide, where moments stretch and fold, and where the past, present, and future brush softly against each other. Mira's curiosity grows with every shared glance, every unanswered question, and every heartbeat that slips silently away. In this world of sound and silence, paint and music, laughter and tears, two very different lives are about to collide-and the moments they share in those fleeting gaps might just change everything.Complete
