Isla Smith boards a luxurious European cruise with one intention -escape.
Fresh from an eight-year toxic relationship and burned out relentlessly by her job, she isn't searching for love. She is searching for space.
Louis Moreau, a wealthy European businessman with a poet's heart, steps into her life, not as a saviour, but as a companion. What begins as a chance meeting across cities and cultures, Isla Smith learns how to breathe again.
From midnight walks beneath the Eiffel Tower to shared fries in Belgium, Isla learns that love does not demand, it chooses.
But when her past refuses to stay buried, and real life comes crashing back, Isla must decide whether she is ready to stand for herself - in love, in work, and in the court.

This time he did not answer. He stood up straight, smirked, and then turned towards his right. I thought he was finally going to leave, but then, he walked right over to the open space in the counter, came to my side, and leaned down in my face. He slowly slid his left hand in my hair, tucking my locks behind my right ear, and softly placed his right hand on my stomach; making me absolutely freeze in my chair. He smelled really good, with a minty, fresh breath, and an unknown smell that I guessed belonged to him, then moved his lips right on my ear, making it look as if he was kissing it, but then he whispered out the heart-stopping words: "Sweetheart, I am the father of your baby.... Férneis to moró mou, tin agápi mou!!"

Odd Rose
-"Why are you crying?" What, I didn't know I was crying. -"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up. -"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees. -"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close. -"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom. *Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up. -"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!" I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest. He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him. As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact. -"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you." I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit. -"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her Dad was murdered fighting for what was right, her mom didn't love her dad all that much...or her, she plans to follow her dad's footsteps even though that might lead her to death.

THE WOLF OF AEGIS MOUNTAIN
For generations, the Wolfe family has ruled from the heights of Aegis Mountain. Their name commands respect. Their wealth commands influence. And their crest-a lone wolf carved into stone-has become a symbol feared and admired throughout the province. But every legacy has its secrets. When Alexander Wolfe returns home after his father's death, he inherits more than a vast estate and a powerful family empire. Hidden among forgotten journals, sealed letters, and the ruins of an abandoned chapel lies a mystery that could change everything he believes about his family-and himself. As the mountain slowly reveals its buried past, Alexander finds an unexpected ally in Abigail Sinclair, a humble schoolteacher whose unwavering faith stands in stark contrast to his guarded heart. Together, they uncover a legacy built not on power, but on sacrifice. Not on wealth, but on service. And not on fear, but on faith. Yet some secrets were hidden for a reason. And the closer they come to the truth, the more dangerous the mountain becomes. In a world where reputations are carefully protected and old wounds refuse to heal, Alexander must decide whether he will continue the legacy he inherited-or embrace the one he was truly called to fulfill. A story of faith, family, redemption, and a love that heals what generations tried to hide. Copyright © 2026 by SAPPHIREHAVEN | All rights reserved.
