Kneeling in front of me, he took my hands and helped me stand among the shards of glass.
"Hey... look at me," he murmured softly.
I couldn't.
"I'm so sorry," I whispered. "I don't belong here..."
His grip tightened, like he wasn't ready to let go.
"I don't belong with you."
And then I ran.

Harper Rose Montgomery is a sweet, determined baker trying to save the only thing her parents left behind, their beloved family bakery. But in a world, that's constantly moving forward, her small Bakery is falling behind.
With no options left, Harper makes a choice that will change everything.
An arrangement.
One year. One contract. One condition.
Lawson Alexander Deveraux is the heir to a powerful empire built on legacy, sacrifice, and control. He's ready to take over his father's business, until his father makes one thing clear.
Success isn't built on business alone.
"One year," Mr. Deveraux says.
"One Condition," Lawson counters.
"Done," They both agreed.
What starts as an arrangement soon becomes something far more complicated than anyone imagined.

TIDES OF VELMOOR
She didn't come to Velmoor looking for anything. That was the point. Zara Voss needed a town small enough to get lost in, quiet enough to stop thinking, and far enough from everything she'd left behind that the distance felt like permission. A cousin's spare room. Salt air. A harbor full of fishing boats and fog and people who'd known each other their whole lives. Simple. Safe. Temporary. Then she met Kai Drennan, paint on his hands, coffee on her jacket, and a smile that made temporary feel like a negotiable concept. And then Velmoor stopped being simple. This town has a way of looking like one thing from the outside and being something else entirely up close. Everyone here is warm. Everyone here is kind. Everyone here has known everyone else for decades, and they will welcome you in, and they will remember your name, and they will smile at you across harbor market stalls and dinner tables and festival lights strung red over the water. And some of them have been waiting, very quietly, very patiently, for someone exactly like Zara to never arrive. She arrived anyway. Some places choose you. Velmoor chose Zara Voss. It will wish it hadn't. TIDES OF VELMOOR, a story that begins where love stories begin, and ends somewhere else entirely. Fifteen chapters. One devastating twist. And a final reveal that will make you want to go back to page one and read every single word differently. You will not see it coming. The clues were there the whole time.Complete
