Rachel's heart broke ten years ago.
The man she wanted never saw her. She was never on his radar. So she moved on--or tried to.
He was her best friend's brother, after all; escaping him was impossible. Instead, she built a life. Married another man who promised her the kind of love she'd stopped waiting for.
But promises shatter easily.
When Rachel discovers her husband's infidelity, the illusion of her happy ending crumbles. Mark was never the man who saw her. And the miserable truth is--the only man who ever did, abandoned her while her world fell apart.
Now she's a new mother to her cheating, abusive husband's daughter, surrounded by friends who refuse to let her break... including him.
Roy. Leroy.
The man she weaved fantasies around since she was thirteen.
So when he finally looks at her--really looks at her--and promises the kind of love she once dreamed about, Rachel lets herself fall.
Completely.
Only to learn she was never going to be his first choice.
He had twenty years to hear her.
Five months to claim her.
And one night was all it took--for him to destroy her instead.

Chasing Ruin (Wardens of Sin MC #1) - SAMPLE
FULL BOOK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KU!🔥 📖: Chasing Ruin by AJ Bishop Ruin never wanted to be the villain in any story. But for years, Charlotte-no, Charlie-was his nightmare in glitter and tank tops. The club Prez's brat sister. The chaos in the corner of every room. She torched his patience, tampered with his relationships, and pined for him like he was hers. She teetered on the edge of slut and princess like she didn't know the difference. But now, she's back after years of banishment. Not the wide-eyed girl who once purred his name in his bed, but the woman who was left to burn alone-by everyone, including him. And damn it... he can't stop watching her rise from the ashes. Charlotte used to be the club's living headache. All smoke, eyeliner, and dangerously misled loyalty. Glory's shadow. Wolf's sister. Ruin's nightmare. She wore dysfunction like a badge-until it got her humiliated and destroyed. Thrown out like trash by the only family she ever had. But peace was good. Peace worked. Until the same betrayal that wrecked her came hunting for her. And the only men who can protect her, are the ones who obliterated her. So she's back-with no one left to beg for love. Not her brother. Not her father. Not even Ruin. Especially not Ruin. And this time? She doesn't want to be saved. She wants vindication.Lengkap
Wife Forgotten, a novella
My husband, Mark, is a good man; he's a strong man. When I needed him to step up with our kids as I finished dental school, he became our little family's rock without ever complaining or being bitter. He owned late-night feedings and diaper changes like a champ while I slept so I could be prepared for my classes in the morning. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. He's working hard on a high-profile case that could change the trajectory of his career if he wins this case. In marriage, sometimes a little sacrifice is needed, which is why on our tenth wedding anniversary, like the past six months, I'm celebrating alone, a sacrifice I'm more than willing to give to the man who's so proudly stood by my side all these years. That is until this betrayal . . . . . . well, let's just say it was never a sacrifice I was willing to make. For Readers: *This story is a novella. My goal is to keep it UNDER fifteen chapters with each chapter no more than 2K words. *Constructive critiques are welcomed. * I do try my best to proofread, but mistakes will slip through. Feel free to point them out!Lengkap

Gigi has always wanted one thing she could never have-Landon. Quiet. Unshakeable. Untouchable. For years, she's been the punchline of whispered jokes and cruel labels. Promiscuous. Reckless. A sl*t. A woman who doesn't know how to be loved, only used. And maybe that's how she learned to survive-by owning the brand the world burned into her skin. Until Landon. For one fleeting moment, he sees her. Wants her. Holds her like she's more than a rumor. But when tragedy strikes their circle of friends-Mark and Rachel's marriage imploding under the weight of betrayal-Gigi finds herself accused of the unthinkable. Manipulation. Infidelity. Of being the reason another woman's life fell apart. And this time, the voices aren't just strangers. They're her friends. Including the man she loves most. Landon turns on her, his words cutting deeper than any lie ever could. Whore. Homewrecker. Mistake. And with him goes the last piece of her she ever thought was worthy of mercy. But when the truth surfaces-when the lies unravel-can Gigi escape the brand that's defined her for years? Can she ever believe Landon that she's the woman beyond her body-worthy of a breaking heart?

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Lengkap
Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Lengkap
