"You can't lose a man you never had."
Being the other woman isn't shameful to Monique; it's safe. Safe from promises, safe from disappointment, and safe from ever needing someone enough to let them destroy her.
But when a man enters her life and refuses to treat her like a secret, Monique's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Because for the first time, someone isn't choosing her in private.
He's choosing her openly.
And Monique has no idea how to survive being loved in the light.

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN US
A story of heartbreak, healing, and the love you never saw coming. Zarra Reynolds had it all figured out-until the man she trusted most shattered her world.

But behind that steel gaze lies someone who sees her in a way James never did. Now, on the verge of her 50th birthday, Zarra is forced to start over. Between therapy sessions, painful memories, and quiet mornings alone with her coffee, she never expected to feel anything for anyone again. But that stranger? He keeps showing up in her thoughts, in her life, and maybe, just maybe, in her heart. What if the love that heals you comes after the one that broke you? For fans of second chances, slow burns, and fierce women who choose themselves first.Complete
THE RULES WE BREAK
What happens when the rules you were raised to follow no longer fit the life you're living? Athena Munroe thought she had it all-a stable marriage, a fulfilling career, and a quiet strength built from surviving family betrayal and cultural expectations. But everything shifts when her husband, Leonard, confesses a long-held truth: he's bisexual and has developed feelings for someone else. Rather than run, Athena makes a bold choice-to explore the possibility of an open marriage and redefine what love, trust, and loyalty can truly look like. With the help of therapy, honest conversations, and a lot of soul-searching, she and Leonard try to rebuild on new terms. But freedom comes with complications. As Athena ventures into a world of emotional risk and romantic exploration, she finds herself confronting generational trauma, family judgment, and unexpected desire. When she forms a deep connection with a man who sees her fully-and loves her freely-Athena must decide what she wants, what she's willing to risk, and which rules are worth breaking. The Rules We Break is a bold and intimate story of love, identity, and the courage to define happiness on one's own terms. Perfect for readers who crave complex relationships, grown-up emotional stakes, and fierce women unapologetically choosing themselves.Complete
