When life throws you a curveball, sometimes faith is the only way to swing.
Evelyn Green has always played it safe, editing her life like a story she can control. But this Christmas, God is calling her into something deeper. Between Naomi's sparkling engagement, Jordan's unspoken feelings, and the possibility that his dreams may carry him away from New York, Evelyn's heart is pulled in directions she never expected.
When she crosses paths with Lucas Rivera, a Bible study leader whose quiet strength challenges her doubts, Evelyn begins to realize that faith isn't about perfect answers-it's about surrender. With two very different relationships shaping her future, she must decide what-and who-she's truly willing to trust.
As snow falls over the city and holiday lights glow, Evelyn is faced with her hardest choice yet: cling to the safety she knows, or step boldly into the unknown with God leading the way.
Full of warmth, faith, and the magic of Christmas, The Curve Ball is a heartfelt young adult romance about forgiveness, courage, and discovering that love-God's love most of all-arrives right on time.

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete
