The Premise:
You've survived the first dates, passed the "Meet the Parents" gauntlet, and successfully navigated the "Instagram Official" paperwork. But now, you've entered the most dangerous territory known to humankind: The Domestic Long-Haul. "Hearts & Hazard Lights" is the essential field guide for the couple that is madly in love but occasionally wants to throw a throw-pillow at each other's heads. It is a manual for the moments when the "Engine of Romance" starts making a funny clanking noise, and you can't tell if it's a major mechanical failure or just a low "patience" fluid level.
The Mission:
To transform your relationship from a "Demolition Derby" into a "Cross-Country Road Trip." This book explores the high-speed thrills of intimacy alongside the mundane traffic jams of daily life-like the "Great Dishwasher Loading Debate of 2026" or the tactical complexity of choosing a Netflix show before the popcorn gets cold.
The Survival Kit: Practical tools for de-escalating a "Kitchen Counter Cold War" before someone calls for backup.
The Romantic Compass: Quotes and wisdom from the world's greatest thinkers, poets, and people who have actually been married for 50 years without an arrest record.
The Quote of the Road
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person... and occasionally pretending you didn't hear them snoring."
The Vibe:
Think of this as a mix between a romantic comedy and a flight manual. It's for the couple who knows that love is the engine, but humor is the oil that keeps the pistons from seizing up when things get hot.

The Forgotten Wife
Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? .............

Anne Of Green Gables √ (Project K.)
*****ALL CREDITS TO L.M.MONTGOMERY***** "She danced up to the little looking-glass and peered into it. Her pointed freckled face and solemn gray eyes peered back at her. "You're only Anne of Green Gables," she said earnestly, "and I see you, just as you are looking now, whenever I try to imagine I'm the Lady Cordelia. But it's a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn't it?" Anne Shirley, with all her daydreaming, carelessness and chatter is not quite what Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert expect when they decide to adopt a child from the orphan asylum. But, after a while, they can't even realize what Green Gables had been without her. Anne's presence lights quiet old Green Gables like a candle lights a room.* This time-old classic has delighted young and old alike for over a century. Full of vivid characterization, humor, and love, this tale lives in the souls of many. "Anne is the dearest and most loveable child in fiction since the immortal Alice" - Mark Twain. #35 in Classics 7/9/17 #14 in Classics 9/9/17 #21 in Classics 11/9/17 * Summary by @DArecruitComplete
