NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue
-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe-and have faith-that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. But I didn't. Instead, it surfaced years later, during the final unraveling of our marriage, when I was leaving for good. I selfishly brought it up, hoping it would push her away. But in that earlier moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa, and probably sensed something had happened between us, but she let it go. And so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. We rebuilt, we dreamed again. Three more sons came into our lives, and with them, years of trying to hold it all together. But more than a dozen years later, the same problems that once threatened us had only deepened-and would soon spiral out of control.Complete
The Year He Broke My Heart
Clara My heart has belonged to Spencer Fisher since that day in high school, when he winked at me during Mrs. Doyle's chemistry class. For twelve years we've been together through the good, the bad, and everything in between. For twelve years I've stood by him and supported him and watched him as he realized every single one of his dreams. But when Spencer's father is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and he starts pulling away right when I need him most, we might have finally found the one thing that will tear us apart. Spencer I thought I had it made. But now I'm feeling it all slip away as the pressures of work and bills and hard decisions mount. And above all else, I have to watch my old man slowly wither away. I'm not used to feeling helpless, and now all I can do is watch the man who has always been larger than life to me die. I know Clara's doing her best to support me, but lately it feels like all I do is let her down. When my colleague introduces me to his sister Laney, it feels harmless at first. Laney listens without making demands. She's sympathetic. She reminds me to take care of myself. If she flirts occasionally and I find myself enjoying it? Well, that's probably harmless too. It's not like I'd ever act on anything. I'd never betray Clara. But the road to hell is paved with bad decisions, and by the time I realize what a fool I'm being, I might be too late to stop myself from losing the woman I love.

Everything But Cold
Diego Camacho wears his heart where everyone can see it-loud, messy, and unashamed. Raised in a family that loves with open arms and open mouths, he's never been the type to hide how he feels. But when a chance encounter sparks a no-strings affair with Dr. Valeria Ross, the rules of love change. Val is everything Diego isn't-clinical, reserved, a woman who locks her heart away behind logic and control. Their chemistry is explosive, but so are their differences. What begins as a stolen night stretches into months of secret texts, late-night calls, and an intimacy Diego refuses to believe is casual. Until Val overhears how Diego truly sees her and walks away without looking back, leaving him gutted by her own short-sightedness. He realizes that to win her back, he'll have to show her that love comes in many forms, and that sometimes, the quiet, "cold" kind of love is the one strong enough to melt steel.
A Divided Heart (On Hold)
I didn't want a boyfriend. I didn't want distractions. I just wanted to survive senior year. But then I met him. Elias-football captain, golden boy, every girl's dream-and he noticed me. Kim noticed me too-his obsessed ex, queen of manipulation-and she wants me gone. The last year of high school - for Avery - it was supposed to be about surviving exams, college applications, and dealing with unimaginable grief. Instead, it's about stolen glances, secret touches, lies, jealousy and heartbreak. Now, I'm caught between desire and betrayal, trust and temptation. And one thing is certain: hearts will be broken, and nothing will ever be the same. An angsty high school romance about love, lust, and learning who you can really trust. Trigger Warning: This book contains themes of grief, bullying, sexual content, infidelity, and emotional trauma that may be sensitive for some readers.

Thicker than Water
Eleven years after his life shattered in Chicago, Chris has rebuilt himself carefully in San Francisco: controlled, independent, untethered. He teaches ethics and law. He boxes too hard. He keeps people at a distance. And he has absolutely no interest in anything that looks remotely permanent. Then a work trip to Mexico drops Marisol into his life. Within days they're tangled in hotel sheets, trading insults in two languages, and making the kind of reckless decisions that are only supposed to exist far from home. The problem isn't that Chris wants her again the moment he gets home. The problem is he assumed she lived two thousand miles away-not twenty minutes across the city. What begins as something casual quickly becomes impossible to contain, forcing Chris to confront the very thing he's dedicated years to avoiding: the possibility of staying. And just when he and Marisol finally stop pretending they haven't built something real together, the past Chris buried long ago comes looking for him.
