Maren Juliette Holt has spent years convincing herself she's okay on her own.
Between teaching preschool, late-night romance novels, and quiet routines shared with her cat, she's built a life that's safe. Predictable. Manageable.
But safe isn't the same as happy.
After too many relationships that left her feeling unwanted, forgettable, or simply too much, Maren has stopped believing in the kind of love she reads about in books.
Then she meets Beckham Wilder Tate.
Charming bookstore manager. Professional over-planner. Owner of the kind of smile that makes her forget how to breathe for a second.
The more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to keep her distance. Because Beckham doesn't just notice her - he sees her. The messy parts. The anxious parts. The parts she's spent years trying to make smaller.
And worst of all?
He stays.
But learning how to be loved might be even scarier than being alone.

Rejected by the Alpha, Chosen by the Moon
"Rejected by the Alpha, Chosen by the Moon " Elara has always been invisible-an Omega in the powerful Silvermane pack, living in the shadows and clinging to one fragile hope: that the Moon Goddess would grant her a mate who would finally see her worth. But when her fated mate is revealed to be Kael, the cold and ruthless future Alpha, her dream shatters. Before the entire pack, Kael rejects her, tearing their bond apart and leaving her broken and cast out. Alone in the wilderness, hunted by rogues and haunted by the pain of rejection, Elara is saved by a stranger-a fearsome wolf with silver eyes and a name whispered in fear: Rylan, Alpha of the rival Nightfang pack. In his world, Elara finds something she never expected: respect, friendship, and the spark of a dangerous new love. But Silvermane has not forgotten her. Kael's regret twists into obsession, and war brews between the packs. With her hidden powers awakening and two Alphas set on claiming her fate, Elara must decide: remain the broken girl who was rejected, or rise as the Luna destined to change everything. " Her rejection was the end. Her awakening is the beginning".
The Rejected Healer Omega
She was rejected. Not because she was bad. But because she was too gentle for a world that worships strength. Rhea, a healer omega, cast aside when her fated mate chose her best friend instead. Humiliated. Discarded. Left with nothing but the belief that she's only valuable if she's useful. So she leaves. Rhea wanders into the forest, weak and ready to give up. There, she finds a dying wolf and uses the last of her strength to heal him, hoping to be useful one final time before collapsing. The wolf turns out to be Khan, a feared and powerful alpha from another pack. Instead of leaving her behind, he carries Rhea home and offers her something she has never had before: safety, acceptance, and a place where she truly belongs. As Rhea begins to heal alongside Khan, and forms an unbreakable bond with new friends, her past refuses to stay buried. When her former pack returns to claim her, Rhea must finally confront the betrayal that shattered her and prove that rejection did not make her weak. --- 🎬 Audiobook available on my YouTube channel!Complete
